Abstract

A method of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using dual-isotopes of [99mTc]TRODAT-1 and [123I]ADAM is provided. Through SPECT, anomalies in dopamine and serotonin system are diagnosed with their photos in one examination. Thus, cost and labor for two examinations are saved and uses of SPECT are reduced.
