Perfusion was greater in right occipital regions and cerebellum in patients compared to controls and was lower in right frontal and temporal regions. Arrival time showed more bilateral differences, being longer in insular, occipital and medial temporal regions in patients compared to controls and shorter in the caudate, amygdala and temporal regions.
