Brain SPECT imaging has been used in the study of neurological and psychiatric disorders for the past few decades. High Definition Brain SPECT Imaging works by evaluating blood flow in the brain. Because blood delivers oxygen and other nutrients to brain cells, it is a very important measure of brain function. Too much blood flow or too little blood flow in given areas of the brain may be indicative of specific disorders.
For most of our patients "seeing" the areas of the brain that are contributing to symptoms gives them a better understanding about their condition(s) and increases their motivation to comply with treatment.
Below, you'll find actual images of brain flow patterns in a normal brain and those present in individuals with a variety of brain disorders. CereScan's high definition brain images can precisely measure blood flow in up to 85 regions of the brain. Brain disorders that SPECT imaging can help diagnose include: ADD/ADHD, Alzheimer's Disease, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, frontotemporal dementia, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), traumatic brain injury (TBI) and toxic brain injury.
