Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: DaTSCAN™ ioflupane (123I) injection; Participants with Parkinsonian Syndrome (PS), Essential Tremor (ET), and Healthy Volunteers (HV) received a single dose of DaTSCAN™ ioflupane (123I) injection. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging was performed between 3 to 6 hours post-injection and lasted approximately 20 minutes to 1 hour.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Sensitivity Analysis of the Blinded Independent Read of DaTSCAN™ SPECT Images	Sensitivity was defined as positive percentage agreement and calculated as the number of true positives (TP) / (number of TP + number of false negatives [FN]): TP/(TP + FN), and a 2-sided 95% binomial confidence interval constructed around it. Only the participants with a clinical diagnosis of PS were included in the sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity of the blinded independent read of DaTSCAN™ SPECT images in detecting or excluding striatal dopaminergic deficit (SDD), when the clinical diagnosis as established by the investigator was used as the standard of truth, were summarized with by reader. Each participant's SPECT image was read by 3 blinded readers.	At Day 1
Specificity Analysis of the Blinded Independent Read of DaTSCAN™ SPECT Images	Specificity was defined as negative percentage agreement and calculated as the number of true negatives (TN) / (number of TN + number of false positives [FP]): TN/(TN + FP), and a 2-sided 95% binomial confidence interval constructed around it. For the specificity analysis, only participants with a clinical diagnosis of ET were included; the HVs were excluded from this analysis. The specificity of the blinded independent read of DaTSCAN™ SPECT images in detecting or excluding striatal dopaminergic deficit (SDD), when the clinical diagnosis as established by the investigator was used as the standard of truth, were summarized with by reader. Each participant's SPECT image was read by 3 blinded readers.	At Day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Normalized DaTSCAN™ Uptake Based on Region Of Interest (ROI) With Central Read (by Semi-quantitative Assessment by Use of DaTQUANT™) of DaTSCAN™ SPECT Images	A semi-quantitative analysis of the striatal uptake ratios in specific regions of interest (ROIs, i.e., left and right striatum, caudate, and putamen) of DaTSCAN™ SPECT images was performed with DaTQUANT™.	At Day 1
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), and Serious TEAEs	An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this investigational product (IP) or medicinal product. A Serious Adverse Event(SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose met one, more of the following criteria: results in death, life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent, significant disability/incapacity, a congenital abnormality/birth defect, an important medical event. A TEAE was any event emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment with an IP or medicinal product or any existing event that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the IP or medicinal product. Number of participants with TEAEs and serious TEAEs were reported.	From start of study drug administration up to Day 4
