PET studies of cerebral levodopa metabolism: a review of clinical findings and modeling approaches.
[(18)F]Fluoro-3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (FDOPA) was one of the first successful tracers for molecular imaging by positron emission tomography (PET), and has proven immensely valuable for studies of Parkinson's disease. Following intravenous FDOPA injection, the decarboxylated metabolite [(18)F] fluorodopamine is formed and trapped within terminals of the nigrostriatal dopamine neurons; redu...
متن کاملPresynaptic Dopaminergic Dysfunction in Schizophrenia A Positron Emission Tomographic [F]Fluorodopa Study
Results: Statistical parametric mapping (P .05 corrected) and region-of-interest analyses (P .01) showed increased [F]fluorodopa uptake, confined primarily to the ventral striatum in patients with schizophrenia. No reductions in prefrontal cortical [F]fluorodopa uptake Ki were seen in the statistical parametric mapping and region-of-interest analyses, although dorsal anterior cingulate [F]fluor...
متن کامل6-[F]Fluorodopamine Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) Scanning for Diagnostic Localization of Pheochromocytoma
The diagnosis and treatment of pheochromocytoma depend critically on effective means to localize the tumor. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have good sensitivity but poor specificity for detecting pheochromocytoma, and nuclear imaging approaches such as I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy have limited sensitivity. Here we report initial results using 6-[F]fluorodopamine po...
متن کاملYoung-onset Parkinson disease with and without parkin gene mutations: a fluorodopa F 18 positron emission tomography study.
BACKGROUND Mutations of the parkin gene are frequently encountered in patients with young-onset Parkinson disease (YOPD), but the effects of this mutation on the nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration are not well established. OBJECTIVE To analyze, using positron emission tomography and fluorodopa F 18, the severity and profile of striatal dopaminergic metabolism in YOPD patients with and wi...

The diagnosis and treatment of pheochromocytoma depend critically on effective means to localize the tumor. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have good sensitivity but poor specificity for detecting pheochromocytoma, and nuclear imaging approaches such as (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy have limited sensitivity. Here we report initial results using 6-[(18)F]fluorodo...
