Imaging Non-motor Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease by Novel 18F-DTBZ and Florbetapir F-18 PET

Summary

The primary objective of this protocol is to investigate the monoaminergic (dopamine、serotonin、and norepinephrine ) nervous system and amyloid deposition in Parkinson's disease patients with non-motor symptoms (focus on impulse control disorders and dementia) by novel 18F-DTBZ and Florbetapir F-18 PET imaging. This study will compare the amyloid deposition of brain by florbetapir F-18 PET imaging and monoaminergic function by18F- DTBZ PET in NC group, PD group, PDD group, AD group. Investigators will also analyze monoaminergic function by18F- DTBZ PET in PDI group.
