  • * Park = intensity of parkinsonian symptoms of akinesia, rigidity, tremor at rest, and hypokinetic speech; Atax = intensity of ataxia of gait, limbs, and speech; Auto = intensity of orthostatic blood pressure and pulse changes and urinary incontinence. Rating scale: – = normal; + = mild; ++ = moderate; +++ = marked.

  • For patients with no regions of abnormal 11C-HED retention, extent measures of 0% are represented by dash. Entire LV = fractional area of entire left ventricle (LV) that is denervated. Fractional areas of denervation in 3 coronary arteries (LCX, LAD, and RCA) are also given.

  • 11C-DTBZ binding potential (BP) in posterior putamen was calculated from measured DVR as BP = DVR – 1; in healthy control subjects, mean ± SD was 2.52 ± 0.32.
