WHAT DATSCAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
DaTSCAN contains the active substance ioflupane (
123
I) which is used to help identify (diagnose)
conditions in the brain. It belongs to a group of medicines called
“radiopharmaceuticals”, which contain
a small amount of radioactivity.
•
When a radiopharmaceutical is injected, it collects in a specific
organ or area of the body for a
short time.
•
Because it contains a small amount of radioactivity it can be detected
from outside the body using
special cameras.
•
A picture, known as a scan, can be taken. This scan will show exactly
where the radioactivity is
inside the organ and the body. This can give the doctor valuable
information about how that organ
is working.
When DaTSCAN is injected into an adult, it is carried around the body
in the blood. It collects in a small
area of your brain. Changes in this area of the brain occur in:
•
Parkinsonism (including Parkinson’s disease) and
•
dementia with Lewy bodies.
A scan will give your doctor information about any changes in this
area of your brain. Your doctor may
feel that the scan would help in finding out more about your condition
and deciding on possible
treatment.
When DaTSCAN is used, you are exposed to small am

for example those with early
symptoms, in order to help differentiate Essential Tremor from
Parkinsonian Syndromes related
to idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple System Atrophy and
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.
DaTSCAN is unable to discriminate between Parkinson's Disease,
Multiple System Atrophy and
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.
•
In adult patients, to help differentiate probable dementia with Lewy
bodies from Alzheimer’s
disease.
DaTSCAN is unable to discriminate between dementia with Lewy bodies
and Parkinson’s disease
dementia.
