Our Country should be PROUD to have a wonderful man such as Dr. Daniel Amen that brings the wounded back their sanity through the specialized work of Spect Scans. Amen Clinics provide Spect Scans which I believe, as well as many others, holds the magical key to regain your life after a traumatic brain injury.
SPECT IMAGING
SPECT imaging (which stands for single-photon emission computerized tomography) is a special kind of photograph we take of the brain to help us better understand how it works and what is going on inside of it. SPECT can specifically help people with brain trauma by:
- Helping identify if there has been brain trauma
- Showing deficits not visible in anatomical studies
- Identifying affected systems
- Helping determine if treatment is working correctly
- Helping determine if there could be co-occurring conditions that need treatment
- Increasing treatment compliance by showing pictures of results
- Providing scientific documentation that may help with special services or legal issues
- Helping people gain a better understanding of their brain through visuals
Spect Scans show what part of the brain isn't working properly which makes it a no brainer to properly diagnose and prescribe medicines that will help that person fell somewhat normal again.
Your brain is much like the computer in your car. If there is something wrong with the computerized elements while driving, the car isn't going to run very well at all. Much like the brain. Once your brain is injured, EVERYTHING changes!!
Very few Neurologists are truly qualified mechanics of the brain. I always thought in order for them to help those with traumatic brain injuries they need to get a few themselves:)

Neurologists usually have no clue when it comes to head injuries, but Dr. Daniel Amens Clinics do!! Yes they cost, but isn't your life worth it????
