title: Positron emissie tomografie (PET) bij stemmingsstoornissen: een overzicht.
abstract: Positron emission tomography is one of the most important techniques of functional imaging in psychiatry. This paper gives a synopsis of the findings in mood disorders: determination of brain glucose metabolism, cerebral blood flow and receptor studies. Investigation in a resting state as well as after activation are discussed. Although findings are somewhat discrepant hypometabolism, and/or hypoperfusion, most often in frontal and limbic areas are frequently described. Further research is needed, and standardization of the methodology would be most wellcome.
