Movement disorders are chronic neurological syndromes with both treatable and non-treatable causes. The top causes of movement disorders are Parkinson's disease and related disorders. Functional imaging investigations with Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images play vital roles in diagnosis and differential diagnosis to guide disease management. Since there have been new advanced imaging technologies and radiopharmaceuticals development, there is a need for up-to-date consensus guidelines. Thus, the Nuclear Medicine Society of Thailand, the Neurological Society of Thailand, and the Thai Medical Physicist Society collaborated to establish the guideline for Nuclear Medicine investigations in movement disorder for practical use in patient care. We have extensively reviewed the current practice guidelines from other related societies and good quality papers as well as our own experience in Nuclear Medicine practice in movement disorders. We also adjust for the most suitability for application in Thailand and other developing countries.
