DAT scan for Parkinsons disease usefulness and cost

HI, @gbridg - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I believe that many members of the Parkinson's Disease support group here are familiar with a DAT scan. You will notice there is some information about DAT scans in the Diagnosis section of the Mayo Clinic online information about Parkinson's Disease:
- Parkinson's disease https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/parkinsons-disease/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20376062
Do you and/or your doctor suspect you may have Parkinson's? Are you undergoing testing at this time?

@lisalucier Hi Lisa, my name is Steve. I’m soooo totally confused. Had DAT Scan in May at Piedmont Health. Said, showed no signs of Parkinson’s, visited Vanderbilt ALS, said that’s not the issue, even suggested that DAT Scan is at best fifty percent accurate and leaned back towards Parkinson’s. Have visited with, now, at least 5 different neurologist and can’t pin down a diagnosis. Any other suggestions? Got all the problems but no answers…..
