Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) has been one of the most common diseases in the elderly since the late 20th century. In practice, diagnosis of PD is mainly relied on clinical criteria yet problems remain, especially in its early stage. ^(99m)Tc-TRODAT-1, a radioligand that selectively binds to dopamine transporter has been applied in clinical evaluation of PD using both visual and semi-quantitative analysis. The TRODAT Tool provides normalized quantitative data to assist disease diagnosis and its progression. However, an improper operation will result in an unexpected error diagnosis. Herein, we report a false negative diagnosis case due to a wrong direction adjustment.
