Sumario: | Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a valuable tool for evaluating regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in patients with schizophrenia. Recently, various neuropharmacological studies using SPECT in patients with schizophrenia have also characterized dopamine D(2) receptors, their correlation with symptoms, as well as receptor occupancy after treatment with atypical antipsychotics.(1,2) We studies changes in rCBF in first-episode psychosis (FEP) before and after pharmacological treatment. |
