Abstract

Depression is a globally prevalent psychiatric disorder. Nuclear medicine functional imaging of the brain is the first imaging method applied in depression research, which can demonstrate the abnormalities of cerebral blood flow perfusion, cerebral metabolism, and the distribution and function of neuroreceptors, etc. With the development of nuclear medicine device and the appearance of multimodal imaging system, nuclear medicine imaging will play an even more important role in exploring pathogenesis, developing new technologies for early diagnosis and therapy monitoring of depression.
