## Abstract In Parkinson's disease patients with cognitive deterioration, regional cortical hypometabolism has been observed with [^18^F]fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET). Our aim was to develop a robust method to subsume the overall degree of metabolic deterioration in Park
[18F] beta-CFT is a novel PET ligand for dopamine reuptake sites. In this study, [18F]beta-CFT uptake was studied in nine patients with early Parkinson's disease (PD) without antiparkinsonian medication and in six age-matched controls. The uptake of [18F]beta-CFT was calculated as a (region-cerebell
## Abstract Thirty‐one drug‐naive patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) underwent 6‐[^18^F]fluoro‐L‐dopa (F‐dopa) positron emission tomography (PET) scan at the time of the diagnosis (baseline) and 2 years later in order to investigate F‐dopa uptake in striatal and extrastriatal regions during the
