Please choose the clinical evaluation:
123I-Ioflupane / DaTSCAN™ is indicated for detecting loss of functional dopaminergic neuron terminals in the striatum:
To help differentiate probable dementia with Lewy bodies from Alzheimer’s disease.
DaTSCAN is unable to discriminate between dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease dementia
18FDOPA / DOPACIS™ is indicated for detecting loss of functional dopaminergic neuron terminals in the striatum:
To help differentiate probable dementia with Lewy bodies from Alzheimer’s disease.
DOPACIS™ is unable to discriminate between dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease dementia
Detection and differential diagnosis of suspected dementia disorders
Persistent or progressive unexplained mild cognitive impairment.
The core clinical criteria for possible AD are satisfied, but there is an unclear clinical presentation-either an atypical clinical course or an etiologically mixed presentation.
Patients with progressive dementia and atypically early age of onset (usually defined as 65 years or less in age).
