Correlation (r) between SUVs and CBF values in the activated cerebral regions in the frontal lobes of patients with major depressive disorder.

Cerebral area	SUV	CBF (ml/min/100 g)	r
Left superior frontal gyrus	4.15±0.23
Left middle frontal gyrus	4.72±0.56	43.15±4.21	0.63a
Left inferior frontal gyrus	4.29±0.41
Right superior frontal gyrus	4.39±0.35	46.71±3.57	0.12
Right middle frontal gyrus	4.92±0.63	49.35±4.15	0.04
Right inferior frontal gyrus	4.85±0.55

SUVs and CBF values are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. SUV, standardized uptake values; CBF, cerebral blood flow.

^aCorrelation is significant at the P-value <0.05 level.
