I believe the SPECT is equivalent to the PET scan, Positron Emission Tomography. If I recall it involves the injection of a short lived radionuclide which somehow attaches itself to a neurotransmitter in the brain and it is tracked by external analytical devices. As far as I know, this is the only method currently available to provide a laboratory test for PD, but it is still an expensive research tool used for research only.
