摘要: Parkinson disease (PD) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons and terminals in nigrostriatal system. Dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging widely performed for differential diagnosis PD other degenerative parkinsonism from essential tremor, vascular parkinsonism, drug-induced parkinsonism. DAT plasma membrane carrier specific to dopamine that are responsible re-uptaking synaptic cleft back into nerve ending. binding might reflect striatal presynaptic dysfunction or expression patients. Longitudinal studies have reported changes early This may be used as biomarker. Follow-up therapeutic interventions has been applied several anti-parkinsonian drugs. We herein review modification anti-PD medications
