There is a growing body of peer-reviewed research on the use of Brain SPECT Scans for traumatic brain injuries, including concussions. Single photon emission computed tomography is a three-dimensional picture of an organ, such as the brain. Mid-Atlantic Concussion Alliance is able to provide patients Brain SPECT Scans through our unique partnership with Amen Clinics. To find out more, contact our office.
