Brain SPECT imaging is a nuclear medicine procedure that evaluates cerebral blood flow. SPECT is easy to understand. It evaluates areas of the brain that work well, areas of the brain that work too hard, and areas of the brain that do not work hard enough. The information from the scans, along with a detailed clinical history, helps us understand the underlying brain patterns associated with our patients’ problems and helps to pinpoint the right treatment to balance brain function.
