A voxel-based PET study of dopamine transporters in Parkinson's disease: Relevance of age at onset

We used positron emission tomography (PET) and the dopamine transporter (DAT) ligand [11C]FECIT to measure loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in early phase of early onset (EOPD) and late onset Parkinson's disease (LOPD). The analysis was carried out with both regions of interest and vo...
