1. To review indications for Ioflupane I-123 study (DaTscan) 2. To acquire basic image interpretation skills 3. To formulate differential diagnoses based on common imaging patterns  

1. Indications for exam - Clinical evaluation 2. Parkinsonian syndromes (neurodegenerative) - Idiopathic Parkinson's disease - Familial parkinsonian syndrome - Atypical parkinsonian syndromes 3. Other Tremor syndromes (non-neurodegenerative) - Essential Tremor - Secondary Parkinsonism - Intention tremor - Resting tremor 4. Basic imaging interpretation - Normal exam - Common patterns of abnormal striatal radioligand uptake 5. Application of imaging findings support differential diagnoses
