Abstract
18 F-labeled THK5351 PET can visualize ongoing astrogliosis by estimating monoamine oxidase B levels and can be used as an adjunct for diagnosing neurodegenerative disorders. Little has been reported on multiple system atrophy (MSA) in the differential diagnosis of parkinsonian syndromes. Here, we present 18 F-THK5351 images in typical cases of MSA-P (parkinsonian type) and MSA-C (cerebellar type), showing intense 18 F-THK5351 uptake in the lateral-posterior part of the putamen (MSA-P) and in the pons and middle cerebellar peduncles (MSA-C). Hence, this study illustrates the possible utility of 18 F-THK5351 PET as an adjunct for diagnosing MSA-P and MSA-C by imaging ongoing astrogliosis.
