## Abstract Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, primarily affecting medium spiny neurones in the striatum. The density of striatal dopamine D~2~ receptors is reduced in HD but there is little known about this biomarker in brain regions outside the striatum. The primary object
