Validation of a Standardized Normalization Template for Statistical Parametric Mapping Analysis of 123I-FP-CIT Images

I-FP-CIT images is performedatequilibrium using a ratio (BR) of specific (striatal)to nonspecific(occipital) uptake with values obtained from regions of interestdrawnmanuallyoverthesestructures.Statisticalparametricmap-ping (SPM) is a fully automated voxel-based statistical approachthat has great potential in the context of DAT imaging. However,the accuracy of the spatial normalization provided by SPM hasnotbeenvalidatedfor
