Abstract
This case study illustrates the pattern and significance of the pinwheel sign, a SPECT artifact from rotational head motion that can complicate the diagnosis of Parkinson disease. Monitoring the patient during image acquisition is crucial since rotational motion artifacts are difficult to identify on raw or processed images and may lead to incorrect interpretation of findings.
