Brain SPECT imaging and psychiatry

J Clin Psychiatry. 1992 Nov:53 Suppl:7-12.

Abstract

To provide a basis for using neuroSPECT (single photon emission computerized tomography) in the evaluation of psychiatric disorders, this presentation will focus on recent developments in this field. Newer advances in cerebral SPECT instrumentation and radiopharmaceuticals and the potential impact on the evaluation of psychiatric patients will be discussed.
