New imaging database aims to sharpen Parkinson's diagnosis
NCT ID NCT06828705
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study created the first international database of Datscan imaging values from 300 patients. The goal was to help doctors better diagnose Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions by comparing brain scan results. Researchers hope this database will improve diagnostic accuracy and potentially replace older imaging methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this database could help doctors more accurately diagnose Parkinson's disease and distinguish it from other conditions with similar symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a database study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate clinical changes, and the results may not apply to all imaging equipment or patient populations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients who have undergone a Datscan scintigraphy on the VERITON camera in the nuclear medicine department of the Nancy University Hospital and who have an established clinical diagnosis, -Absence of neurodegenerative pathology or Parkinson's disease or Lewy body disease. * The clinical diagnosis can only be established after two years of clinical follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * Excluded from this research will be the patients opposed to the use of their data, minors, atypical Parkinsonian syndromes, * patients who died before two years of clinical follow-up, * patients who had their Datscan examination carried out on a camera other than the VERITON and - patients lost to follow-up.
