Title: Incidental detection of intracranial tuberculomas on (99m)Tc-TRODAT-1 SPECT/CT. Author: Tripathi M, Arora G, Das CJ, Grover T, Gupta R, Bal C. Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2015 Jun; 40(6):e321-2. PubMed ID: 25608162. Abstract: Tc-TRODAT-1 has high affinity and specificity for dopamine transporters and is useful for the evaluation of presynaptic dopaminergic function, especially in parkinsonism. There have been a few reports of extrastriatal pathological accumulation of Tc-TRODAT-1. We report a patient with intracranial tuberculomas that were incidentally detected when he underwent Tc-TRODAT-1 scintigraphy for an unrelated indication.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
