Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive brain disorder that affects movement and can cause other health issues. It’s caused by a loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, which leads to nerve cell damage and death.
DaTscan Imaging offered at RAVE:
DaTscan is a Nuclear Medicine brain scan used to assist in the evaluation of adults with suspected Parkinson’s disease. DaTscan can differentiate essential tremors from tremors due to Parkinson’s disease.
RAVE utilizes DaTQuant software to even further evaluate the patient’s scan by comparing the patient’s images with an age-matched database. It automatically calculates striatal binding ratios, putamen/caudate ratios, and asymmetry. A report is generated which combines visual AND quantitative results.
