HI, I had a dat scan two years and the result came back as equivocal , my symptom’s have got progressively worse since then I even need a stick to walk now and I am always exhausted. I have now got a date for another dat scan next month, could it be possibly for the next scan to show the same results ???
Hi @wales_1,
This is quite a tricky situation and I can understand why you maybe feeling concerned. I think the best thing you can do is wait for the second Datscan results for an official diagnosis. We have a section on our website which goes into detail about the interpretation of a Datscan which you may find helpful. You can find this page here - https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/professionals/clinical-summary-use-datscan.
Best wishes,

Hi Reah, I eventually had my second Datscan results and it stated that there had been a significant change to the one that was done in 2017, and that it was more suggestive to be parkinsonian disorder, have you ever heard of this any adive would be great .
Many Thanks
