Brain SPECT imaging

Single photon emission computed tomography, brain SPECT, is a recognized, scientifically valid, physiological, evaluative test of brain blood flow and related regional brain cell function. These imaging scans before and after a course of therapy can be used to depict brain regions' response to therapy.

Your brain SPECT scan at Dr. Uszler's private clinic involves

• state-of-the-art triple-headed scanner
• minimally invasive intravenous injection of brain scan tracer while you are in a resting state. Alternatively the injection can occur while you are engaged in a computer-based mental "activation" activity
• approximately twenty minutes of scan time, during which the scanner revolves only around your head
• no allergic reactions
• objective, quantitative analysis of your scan by Dr. Uszler, with a report to your referring healthcare provider
• the benefit of his more than ten years experience of brain SPECT imaging and quantitative analysis in both adults and children
