SPECT Imaging Scan

SPECT stands for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography. It is a nuclear medicine study that evaluates blood flow and activity in the brain. Basically, brain scans show three things: Areas of the brain that have healthy activity Areas of the brain that have too little activity Areas of the brain that have too much activity Then based on what we see, our job is to balance your brain—to calm it down if it is working too hard or stimulate it if it is underactive.
