Background. Parkinson's disease (PD) can be challenging to diagnose in the clinical setting. 6-[18F] fluoro-L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-FDOPA) PET imaging may assist in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease by assessing pre-synaptic dopamine dysfunction. The striato-occipital ratio (SOR) is a measure of the uptake in the striatum (caudate and putamen) referenced against the activity in the occipital lobe (representing background activity). Manual quantification of these regions of interest (ROI) is commonly performed however this is time-consuming and may be susceptible to variances in inter-reader interpretation. Aims. The aim of this audit was to compare manual quantification of 18F-FDOPA PET SOR, performed as standard practice at...
