Can someone please tell me if a datscan can show up lewy bodies? Or does it only show low dopamine?

Hi , DaTscans show images of dopamine neurons. This article explains more: https://parkinsonsdisease.net/diagnosis/diagnosis-imaging To my understanding, there is no test that can show lewy bodies. https://parkinsonsdisease.net/answers/lewy-body-dementia Best, Lauren (ParkinsonsDisease.net Team)
