ABSTRACT
The early detection and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and other dementias, and movement disorders, represent a significant unmet medical need. Tools for accurate and early differential diagnosis are necessary to determine the appropriate treatment for patients and to minimize inappropriate use of potentially harmful treatments. Such diagnostic imaging tools are expected to permit monitoring of disease progression and will thus accelerate testing and development of disease-modifying drugs. The new imaging tests may be useful as prognostic tools by identifying humans with neurodegenerative diseases before the clinical manifestations become evident.
