APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -SPECT helps provide biologically based answers to mental health issues and helps clinicians ask better, more targeted questions; such as about head injuries, infections (such as Lyme disease), exposure to toxins (such as mold), past emotional traumas, and much more.

Detailed explanation-2: -SPECT scanning can detect altered blood flow in the brain and help diagnose or evaluate certain vascular brain disorders, such as moyamoya disease, a condition in which the arteries in the brain become blocked or narrowed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neuroimaging provides a window to observe “in vivo” brain structure and function, both of which are likely to be abnormal in two of the commonest disorders affecting humankind: depression and schizophrenia.

Detailed explanation-4: -Brain imaging scans, also called neuroimaging scans, are being used more and more to help detect and diagnose a number of medical disorders and illnesses. Currently, the main use of brain scans for mental disor-ders is in research studies to learn more about the disor-ders.
