DatScan With Prototype Collimator

NCT02455219 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A collimator is an accessory to a SPECT/CT scanner. It can be compared to a camera lens or filter that enhances or improves photos. The prototype collimators are able to magnify target organs about four times compared to the current collimators. In this study we are validating a new collimator design, which will allow for quantitative measurement of dopamine receptors within the brain, not previously performed using a single photon gamma camera.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

DEVICE

Prototype UHRSZ (UltraHigh Resolution Smart Zoom) Collimator

In DATScan SPECT scans, the UHRSZ collimator will be exchanged for the standard collimator following completion of the clinically ordered scan. A scanning sequence will be repeated with the prototype collimator in place. Images from the two scanning sequences will be compared.
