New brain scan aims for clearer Parkinson's diagnosis

NCT ID NCT04265209

Summary

This study tested a new type of brain scan (called a PET scan) to see if it works as well as a standard scan (called a SPECT scan) for telling Parkinson's disease apart from essential tremor. It involved 152 adults with either condition. The goal was to see if the new scan could help doctors make a more accurate diagnosis.
