Association between DATSCAN-derived dopaminergic activity and cognitive performance and quality of life in Parkinson's disease: A cross-sectional study
Although DATSCAN is valuable for confirming PD diagnosis, its ability to predict clinical outcomes such as cognition, QoL, or motor complications is limited. These results highlight the multifactorial nature of PD and the need to integrate dopaminergic imaging with comprehensive clinical assessments for personalized patient care.
