A DOPA PET scan is an advanced medical imaging test that helps doctors study how the brain works. In this scan, a safe radioactive substance called Fluorodopa (FDOPA) is used as a tracer. When this tracer moves inside the body, it highlights the dopamine pathways in the brain. These pathways play a very important role in controlling movement and coordination.
This test is most commonly done to help diagnose neurological problems. Doctors often suggest a DOPA PET scan for patients who may have Parkinson’s disease, Parkinson-plus syndromes, or other movement disorders. By looking at the scan results, doctors can see how well the dopamine system is working, which helps them give the right treatment and advice.
The DOPA PET scan is non-invasive, safe, and gives very clear images of brain function. It provides valuable information that other normal scans may not show. That is why it is considered one of the most reliable imaging techniques for detecting early changes in brain function related to dopamine.
