## Abstract Alterations in presynaptic and postsynaptic dopaminergic system and cerebral glucose metabolism in corticobasal degeneration (CBD) were assessed to evaluate the potential usefulness of different imaging methods for CBD. ^123^I‐FP‐CIT/^123^I‐β‐CIT SPECT and ^123^I‐IBZM SPECT as well as ^
## Abstract Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare syndrome characterised by an asymmetrical rigidity with localised cortical signs, particularly apraxia. Using positron emission tomography, abnormal patterns of cortical metabolism have recently been shown. We have studied patterns of regional c
Increasing evidence suggests that the dopamine transporter is situated almost exclusively on dopamine neurons. Accordingly, it is an valuable marker for Parkinson's disease and other pathological states of dopamine neurons. We previously demonstrated that the potent dopamine transport inhibitor [ 12
