Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 In answer to are the scans the same, I¹m sorry I but don¹t know! I did want to pass along that Dr. G is particular about where the scan is done, though. I¹m thinking that it has something to do with comparing apples to apples... if the machine isn¹t calibrated the same, then he can¹t compare it to the other scans he has (something like that). I¹m digging way back in my memory here and may not remember things right, so it might be best to call his office (818) 343-1010 and ask if it has to be done at a certain place.

I know Dr. G refers patients to the NeuroSpect scan clinic in Santa . However, I can get our insurance to cover the cost of the spect scan if a prescription is written by my son's pediatrician and done at our in-network hospital. So I'm wondering if the neurospect and brain spect scans are the same thing, and if so, can we do it at Children's Hospital and have the results sent over to Dr. Goldberg? Please let me know. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 We never got our scan done but we were talking about it before we left the practice. Here's what we were hoping we could do but we hadn't fully talked about it with Dr. G so it might be worth looking into for you. We were planning to have it done by Cedars where it would be covered by insurance but have the results sent to Dr. Uszler at SMITA to read. Dr. Uszler said to get the raw data from them and he would analyze it. This way we only had to pay the office visit.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Dr G uses Scans that have been callibrated based on Dr. Mena's normal controls. Many scans show " improvement " when in reality they were never calibrated correctly- Dr Mena has the only data base of normal children in the world. It was done in Chile where you are allowed to test on normal children Elyse -- In , " lvtoeat2 " <lvtoeat2@...> wrote: > > This might be a dumb question, but is a neurospect scan the same as a > brain spect scan? > > I know Dr. G refers patients to the NeuroSpect scan clinic in Santa > .
