Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique which allows detection of biochemical and pharmacological dysfunction of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system and provides the opportunity to investigate living patients with PD. This paper reviews the contribution of PET studies to the understanding of neurochemical changes underlying Parkinson's disease.
正电子发射断层扫描(PET)是一种功能成像技术,它能够检测黑质纹状体多巴胺能系统的生化和药理功能障碍,并为研究帕金森病(PD)患者提供了机会。本文综述了PET研究对理解帕金森病潜在神经化学变化的贡献。
