Single-Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (SPECT) in Neuropsychiatry: A Review

Single-Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (SPECT) in Neuropsychiatry: A Review

Cranial single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT or SPET) can now give regional cerebral blood flow images with a resolution approaching that of positron emission tomography (PET). In this paper, the use of high resolution SPECT neuroimaging in neuropsychiatric disorders, including Alzh...
