Here is some info on PET scans. http://www.epub.org.br/cm/n01/pet/pet.htm http://spring.parkinsons.org.uk/SPRING_Times/20/04.html Deborah Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2002 10:08:41 EDT Hi Paula: Yes right at the time of my diagnosis 3-1/2 years ago, I went through the MRI. My current neurologist mentioned she would like to do a PET scan of my brain, which I believe would confirm my atypical Parkinsonism, but of course, the doc will have to jump through some insurance hurdles before we get it approved. Do you or anyone else out there on the list know anything about the PET scan? Thanks, Diana P.S. In terms of meds, I'm not really sure they are making that much of a difference. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
