Further tests for dementia with Lewy bodies

  • if the diagnosis is uncertain and dementia with Lewy bodies is suspected, use 123I-FP-CIT SPECT.
  • if 123I-FP-CIT SPECT is unavailable, consider 123I-MIBG cardiac scintigraphy

Notes:

  • do not rule out dementia with Lewy bodies based solely on normal results on 123I-FP-CIT SPECT or 123I-MIBG cardiac scintigraphy
