This study aimed to evaluate different quantitative indexes of striatum dopamine transporter density in healthy subjects and patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The results showed that the binding potential index (BPI) had higher sensitivity and specificity in differentiating PD and healthy subjects, while the asymmetry index (AI) and putamen/caudate ratio (P/C) had lower performance and reliability. Caution should be exercised when using AI and P/C.
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate different quantitative indexes of striatum dopamine transporter density in healthy subjects and patients with PD. Patients and Methods Sixty-seven patients, 23 healthy (8 male; 59 +/- 11 years old) and 44 age-matched patients (29 male; 59 +/- 7 years old), with various degrees of severity of idiopathic PD (duration of symptoms, 10 +/- 6 years; Hoehn and Yahr Scale, 2.16 +/- 0.65; UPDRS-3, 29.74 +/- 17.79). All patients performed Tc-99m-TRODAT-1 SPECT. Binding potential indexes (BPIs) of striatum and subregions, asymmetry index (AI), and putamen/caudate ratio (P/C) were calculated. Results Binding potential index was lower in the PD than in healthy subjects. A BPI cutoff for striatum and putamen ranging from 0.73 to 0.78 showed 95% to 100% sensitivity and 84% to 88% specificity. For the caudate nucleus, a BPI threshold of 0.8 to 0.88 revealed 100% sensitivity and 77% to 84% specificity. The BPI's respective areas under the curve ranged from 0.92 to 0.98. For AI and P/C, the area under the curve was less than 0.70. Binding potential index intraclass correlation coefficient was close to 1.0 in the intraobserver evaluation and 0.76 to 0.87 in the interobserver assessment. Intraclass correlation coefficient for AI and P/C was inferior to 0.75 in the intraobserver and interobserver evaluations. Conclusions Different semiquantitative indices differentiated PD and healthy subjects and may help the differential diagnosis of other entities involving the dopaminergic system. Asymmetry index and P/C performances were lower than BPI, including their intraobserver and interobserver reliability, and therefore should be used with caution.
