Case 1. A 64-year-old man with tremors had the initial Dopamine transporter single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) imaging (DaTscan) showing abnormally patchy striatal tracer distribution (Figure 1, top row). The patient was not instructed to stop methylphenidate before the examination. A repeat DaTscan, 25 days later with drug discontinuation, showed normal striatal features (Figure 1, bottom row).Case 2. A 36-year-old woman with parkinsonism had the initial DaTscan showing diffusely heterogeneous striatal tracer distribution with low target-to-background activity ratio (Figure 2, top row). She did not follow the instruction to stop phentermine before the imaging. A repeat DaTscan, 19 days later with drug discontinuation, showed normal features with high striatum target-to-background ratio (Figure 2, bottom row).
