In-house Preparation and Quality Control of Tc99m TRODAT 1 for Diagnostic Single-photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography Imaging in Parkinson's Disease.

Purpose Of Study: Loss of dopamine neurons in the brain is a characteristic feature of Parkinson's disease (PD). TRODAT-1 is a tropane derivative that binds to dopamine transporter (DAT) receptors. It can be used for noninvasive imaging of DAT receptors leading to the early detection of PD.
