AB  - Brain single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans indirectly show 
      functional activity via measurement of regional cerebral blood flow. Thirty 
      patients at a community-based psychiatric clinic underwent brain SPECT scans. 
      Changes in scoring of before-treatment and after-treatment scans correlated well 
      with changes in patient Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores before 
      treatment and after treatment. Patients were retrospectively matched with 
      controls with similar diagnoses and pretreatment GAF scores, and those who 
      underwent SPECT-guided treatment improved significantly more than the control 
      patients.
