DAT Scan Normal vs Abnormal
A DAT scan (Dopamine Transporter Scan) is an imaging test that measures the activity of dopamine transporters in the brain. Normal DAT scans show a symmetrical pattern of activity throughout the brain, while abnormal scans may show decreased activity in specific regions, indicating a disruption in dopamine function. This could be due to conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, which is characterized by reduced dopamine levels, or other neurological disorders affecting dopamine pathways.
