Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi , Yes, Brain Matters has their own system of doing things that involves 2 scans. I believe one is with the brain at rest and the other with the brain active? (doing something on the computer maybe). I think that this is right. I'm sure that the Brain Matters website would offer more information. Dr. Goldberg only requires one neurospect and whether you get the scan done at a Brain Matters clinic or at Dr. Uszler's office, it is Dr. Uszler that interprets it. Brain Matters has been working with Dr. Goldberg for a long time (before they were called Brain Matters) and so if you are one of his patients, you simply call up and let them know you work with Dr. Goldberg and they arrange to take the one scan for you. I went to the one in Denver and got one scan done. Insurance paid for most of it and Brain Matters did not bill me for the rest. They said that if the insurance pays as much as their unisured rate that they don't bill patients for the difference. I thought that this was nice. I did not leave the clinic with pictures in hand though. I had it mailed to me within a couple of weeks. When you call Brain Matters, they will check with your insurance ahead of time and let you know what it will cost you (if anything). Hope this helps. April [sPAM] Brain Matters/Denver/Spect Scans Hello. I just met a mom who had her son out at the Sensory Learning Center in Denver for 6 weeks and while she was there she had a SPECT done at the new Brain Matters center in Denver. She is not a patient, apparently her parents heard about it and offered to pay for a SPECT. Anyway, her child is 9, he went in for 2 SPECTS, one the first day, second the next day. It cost $3600. She was given a big booklet that shows pictures of the scans and information relating to it. My question is this, is this the process that everyone goes through, are 2 scans required for an adequate reading? Is $3600 what parents are paying for this? Has anyone had a child scanned in Denver? Thanks for any information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Does this really do anything to help? Its kinda like people with chemical injury having their brains looked at. The brain is still injured. The scan usually doesn't reveal anything with pesticide injury. (which Dr.'s overlook or refuse to recognize) They have done two MRI's on me and found nothing. That is because I have chemical injury. Hope it helps. Alice Hello.

Scientists at the Hopkins University School of Medicine say that a few squares of chocolate a day can reduce the risk of a heart attack by almost 50 per cent in some cases.
