Da T Scan: A cocaine analogue is used in the radioactive tracer used in this scan to detect Parkinson's disease. Dopamine containing neurons involved in controlling movements are assessed. Ketamine may interfere with interpretation of the Da T Scan. A radiologist can answer your question best, however.
