Summary

This trial will test whether the DaTscan can help doctors better understand and diagnose neurodegenerative diseases.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 40-90 with conditions like Parkinson's, various dementias, or mild cognitive impairment. Participants need a Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) score over 10 and can't be on certain meds that affect the test results. Those with dementia must have a caregiver present regularly.
What is being tested?
The study tests DaTscan imaging in patients with neurodegenerative diseases by injecting I-123 Ioflupane before a SPECT scan. It aims to correlate these scans with clinical diagnoses and other brain imaging techniques to better understand these conditions.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions related to iodine or the radioligand used in DaTscan, similar to those who might react to seafood allergies. The procedure itself is generally safe but consult your doctor about specific risks.
