1) it is very expensive. 2) it is not accurate enough Meaning, that you can't use a scan to make a diagnosis, because there is too much variation. What would it mean if I took a $1000 scan and said, "there's a 65% chance, based on this scan, that you are depressed." And he says back to me, "Not sh*t Sherlock, that's why I came to you in the first place." They day may one day come that we use scans to make diagnoses, monitor treatments, etc. But it's pretty far away. The real problem is we don't understand etiology, pathophysiology, and prevention. That's the problem in psychiatry. |
