Using a new DTI processing technique, named diffusion entropy, and dynamic PET data we observed a statistically significant inverse correlation between diffusion entropy and [11C]-CUMI binding potential (BP_F) in a dataset with bipolar, major depressive disorder patients and controls. This newfound analysis can give rise to further understanding the pathophysiology that undermines psychiatric diseases and, also, a non-invasive, non-ionizing radiation procedure to estimate [11C]-CUMI BP_F.
