Aim: Dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging with [123I] FP-CIT (DaTSCAN) is an established diagnostic tool in parkinsonism and dementia. Using a low energy high resolution and sensitivity (LEHRS) collimator and step and shoot continuous scanning mode, Swiftscan single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (GE Healthcare) enhances sensitivity and enables time or dose reduction. In this phantom and clinical study, we aim to validate a 25% reduction of the acquisition time using Swiftscan and its lack of effect on visual or quantitative analysis. Methods: Anthropomorphic striatal phantom with fillable striata was used. SPECT data from 30 normals (12 men, 18 women; age range, 39-91 years; mean, 71 years ± 11) and 30 patients with Parkinson disease or other neurodegenerative disease with extra-pyramidal syndrome (16 men, 14 women; age range, 43-84 years; mean, 69 years ± 10) were also included. Both phantom and clinical data were acquired using Swiftscan and reconstructed with full-time and 25%-time reduction. Striatal binding ratios (SBRs) were calculated using DaTQUANT software. Results: Both in phantom experiments and in clinical cases, visual analysis remained stable and SBRs were not significantly different whether using Swiftscan or Swiftscan with 25%-time reduction (p Conclusion: Using Swiftscan step and shoot continuous SPECT mode, 25%-time reduction can be applied to DaTSCAN acquisition protocols, without impairing visual or quantitative analysis.
