title: Imaging the dopaminergic system in suspected parkinsonism, drug induced movement disorders, and Lewy body dementia.
abstract: This review discusses the role of pre- and post-synaptic dopaminergic imaging in suspected Parkinson's disease, vascular parkinsonism, the parkinsonian syndromes, drug induced movement disorder, and Lewy body dementia. It is envisaged that this information may be useful to neurologists, psychiatrists, physicians/geriatricians, radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians.
