Original Title:
PET con fluorodopa en enfermedad de Parkinson
Authors' recommendations:
No studies assessing the therapeutic impact and safety of Fluorodopa Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanning in Parkinson’s disease as an outcome have been found. Low‐quality evidence suggests that fluorodopa PET scanning in Parkinson’s disease might result in a marginal diagnostic performance increase in differentiating essential tremor but not with other degenerative parkinsonisms. Most clinical practice guidelines consulted do not mention the routine use of this technology to diagnose Parkinson’s disease, except for one guideline from Spain where it is mentioned in differential diagnosis of parkinsonisms. The health funders consulted do not include fluorodopa PET scanning among their coverage policies for this condition.
