The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) has posted a video on its website to educate patients about what to expect when undergoing dopamine transporter (DaT) imaging with SPECT.
The video, which is part of SNMMI's "What to Expect" patient series, comes from the organization's Brain Imaging Outreach Working Group. It walks patients through the process used to diagnose Parkinson's disease with the radiopharmaceutical.
By advising patients about the procedure ahead of time, the hope is to make them more comfortable and reduce their anxiety.
