Dr Goldberg told me once that Dr Mena could look at a

scan w/ absolutely no information on the patient and

identify the diagnosis, and even state certain

behaviors a child was displaying - just from reading

a SPECT scan.

Actually, the diagnosis can be very specific from the

SPECT scan and has been verified in it's accuracy. It

can even be helpful at re-diagnosing complicated cases

that present one way but are actually another

underlying problem.

My son has had two scans at UCLA Harbor - now a Brainmatters JV facility. Dr

Fred Mishkin who trained under Dr Mena interpreted the scans and wrote the

reports both times. I never met Dr Mishkin - he never saw my son, and did

not have any reports from a physcologist. The reports from the spect scan

were extremely detailed about our son's condition, and in the second report,

Dr Mishkin was able to describe improvements in bloodperfusion that had

occurred over a 3 year period, and with newly introduced software, able to

male comparisons to the norm. These reports were far more thorough and

useful than any behavioural analysis we had ever had done.

I have written on this list a number of times in the last 5 years about the

power of the neuropsect.. it is I think the most powerful diagnostic tool

available from medicine today about the condition of our childrens brain and

provides invaluable information for Dr's that know how to use it.and that is

the critical issue!

With Brainmatters expansion, and the inclusion of NIDs clinics in that

expansion, I am confident that this diagnostic tool and treatment will

become more available in more areas across the US and ultimately in other

countries.

Thanks for all the response, I really would like to accomplish getting

one done this year for my son. , did you feel like the scans

provided info that resulted in better medication choices (ie, was the

trial and error process shortened)? I guess in reality I am hoping that

ultimately it will help with treatment decisions or at the very least

will help with what to avoid.
