Hvis der er sket tab af nerveceller indeholdende dopamin (som det typisk er tilfældet hos patienter med Parkinsons sygdom), vil billedet vise stærkt nedsat binding af DaTSCAN.
If there is a loss of nerve cells containing dopamine (as occurs typically in patients with Parkinson’ s disease) the binding of DaTSCAN is greatly reduced and this can be seen on the scan.
