Previous studies have utilized single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to demonstrate decreased {I-123}beta-CIT striatal uptake in idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD) patients. The present study extends this work by examining SPECT outcome measures in a larger group of PD patients with varying disease severity. Twenty-eight L-dopa-responsive PD patients (Hoehn-Yahr stages 1-4) and 27 healthy controls had SPECT scans at 18 to 24 hours after injection of {I-123}beta-CIT. Specific to nondisplaceable striatal uptake ratios (designated V-3 '') were correlated with Hoehn-Yahr stage and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) subscores. Linear discriminant function analyses utilizing striatal uptakes, putamen-to-caudate ratios, and ipsilateral-contralateral asymmetry indices were performed. Decreased striatal tracer uptake (V-3 '') was correlated with total UPDRS score for both contralateral and ipsilateral striatum. Putamen uptake was relatively more reduced than caudate with mean putamen:caudate ratios of 0.50 +/- 0.17 and 0.82 +/- 0.09 for PD patients and controls, respectively. Ipsilateral: contralateral asymmetry was significantly greater in PD patients than controls. Discriminant function analysis utilizing V-3 '' for ipsilateral and contralateral caudate and putamen correctly classified all 55 cases. These data demonstrate marked differences in {I-123}beta-CIT SPECT measures in healthy controls and PD patients. The significant correlation of SPECT measures with motor severity suggests {I-123}beta-CIT may be a useful marker of disease severity in PD.
