This book demonstrates the practicality and usefulness of SPECT imaging. Having worked with SPECT images for years, I can report to you that findings in this "Images" book often match the patient that just came in the door - both in presentation and in history. If you need a steady desktop resource to show your patients, or for your own ongoing work with SPECT, you will find this volume helpful. Ability to match brain pictures with symptoms: about 85% on a bad day, about 95% on a good day. This material does replicate consistently.

Customer Reviews

Makes sense and very fascinating
This is a very interesting book. We have been to the Amen Clinic in Virginia and the experience was very worthwhile, especially when you have exhausted all other avenues and are tired of playing "drug roulette" as I like to call it. It greatly helps to narrow down the and pinpoint the problem.
