title: Incidental detection of intracranial tuberculomas on (99m)Tc-TRODAT-1 SPECT/CT.
abstract: Tc-TRODAT-1 has high affinity and specificity for dopamine transporters and is useful for the evaluation of presynaptic dopaminergic function, especially in parkinsonism. There have been a few reports of extrastriatal pathological accumulation of Tc-TRODAT-1. We report a patient with intracranial tuberculomas that were incidentally detected when he underwent Tc-TRODAT-1 scintigraphy for an unrelated indication.
