On a recent nationally televised Dr. Phil Show focusing on extreme neurological disorders, Dr. Gregory Hipskind, Senior Medical Advisor for Brain Matters, Inc., explained why SPECT imaging is so important for patients with these conditions. Often the erratic behaviors of people suffering from neurological disorders is blamed on psychological or personality weaknesses.

"If someone had a problem with their leg, you would certainly want to take an x-ray," said Dr. Hipskind. "Similarly, our philosophy is that most of these problems have as the organ of interest, the brain. These are brain problems and they have a biological basis."

SPECT imaging not only identifies the location of brain based (neurological) disorders, but also identifies the range or severity of the disorder along with other possible brain dysfunctions which may be complicating the primary pathology. For example, an unrecognized traumatic brain injury can make depression more difficult to treat.
