Brain SPECT findings and aggressiveness.
TL;DR: Findings indicate a possible cerebral perfusion profile for those who exhibit violent or aggressive behavior and the implications for treatment are discussed.

TL;DR: Forty 1.5 ATA HBOT sessions in 1 month was safe in a military cohort with chronic blast-induced PCS and PTSD, with concomitant significant improvements in SPECT.
High–Resolution Brain SPECT Imaging and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in Police Officers With PTSD
TL;DR: Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing was an effective treatment for PTSD in this police officer group, showing both clinical and brain imaging changes.

Decreased cerebral blood flow in the limbic and prefrontal cortex using SPECT imaging in a cohort of completed suicides.
TL;DR: SPECT might be useful in predicting risk for suicide completion in subjects with depression or treatment-resistant depression, and more focal decreases in rCBF in the subgenual cingulate cortex are demonstrated in 18 subjects, supporting the previous hypothesis that hypoperfusion of BA 25 may be a risk factor for suicide in depressed patients.

TL;DR: SPECT was found to outperform both CT and MRI in both acute and chronic imaging of TBI, particularly mild TBI; it was also found to have a near 100% negative predictive value.
