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.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
