We used both FDG PET and MRI to study the relationship between neuropsychological stress and inflammation in a PTSD population. Significant correlations between white matter fractional anisotropy and inflammation in the carotid as measured using FD-PET. Resting state scans and functional scans correlated with HAMA and MADRS but no relationship was detected with FDG-PET.
