| Athens, Greece ~ June 17, 2011 This workshop is intended to introduce participants to the potential of dopamine transporter single photon emission computed tomography imaging in neurological practice. The workshop will answer some common questions, such as when it is appropriate for dopamine transporter imaging to be ordered by general practitioners, neurologists or Movement Disorders specialists. While some questions can be answered by a number of published dopamine transporter imaging studies of high scientific standard, answers to other questions are highly dependent upon expert opinion. The goal of the workshop will be to present a balanced view of the currently available information on dopamine transporter imaging studies. The scope of information to be presented and discussed has been chosen to not only identify the potential usefulness of dopamine transporter imaging in neurological practice, but also to guard against indiscriminate and injudicious use of dopamine transporter imaging or erroneous interpretation of findings.
