False-Positive Findings on Dopamine Transporter SPECT Due to Therapeutic Dextroamphetamine and Amphetamine.
Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology 2018 June
Dopamine transporter SPECT is an accurate adjunct to clinical evaluation for Parkinson disease when the diagnosis is difficult. Dopaminergic medications may significantly affect dopamine transporter availability and, thus, uptake of dopamine transporter tracers.

The SPECT findings normalized after amphetamine therapy was withheld. An accurate medication history combined with knowledge of drugs that interfere with dopamine transporter imaging is critical to ensure accuracy.
