[F]-FDopa positron emission tomography imaging in corticobasal syndrome.

Purpose: First, to investigate the patterns of [F]-FDOPA positron emission tomography imaging in corticobasal syndrome using visual and semi-quantitative analysis and to compare them with patterns found in Parkinson's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy. Then, to search for correlations with clinical features and [F]-FDG positron emission tomography imaging.

Methods: 27 corticobasal syndrome patients who underwent [F]-FDOPA positron emission tomography imaging were retrospectively studied.
