Brain Lymphoma on 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT

Clin Nucl Med. 2019 Oct;44(10):e590-e592. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002605.

Abstract

Tc-TRODAT-1, as a tropane-derived compound with highly selective binding to the dopamine transporter, has been extensively used as an in vivo biomarker to evaluate parkinsonism. There have been few reports indicating various etiologies about extrastriatal findings on the Tc-TRODAT-1 SPECT. We herein present an interesting case about the incidental discovery of brain lymphoma with increasing uptake of Tc-TRODAT-1.
