Results: Significant rCBF increases in the right-temporal lobe and posterior cingulate gyrus, and significant rCBF decreases in the left parieto-temporal and occipital gyri.

50,400 and Counting...
This month, the Amen Clinics reached an incredible milestone, surpassing 50,000 brain scans. Back in 1991, when Dr. Amen ordered his first SPECT brain scan, he had no idea it would become the cornerstone of his practice. Quickly, however, he realized that seeing patients' brains allowed him to better diagnose and treat them so they could overcome a variety of problems, such as attention deficit disorder (ADD), depression, anxiety, anger, brain trauma, and addictions. Because of his utilization of SPECT imaging, Dr. Daniel Amen has also been able to enhance creativity, energy, focus, and overall effectiveness for our patients. For many years now, the Amen Clinics have had the world's largest database of SPECT brain scans related to human behavior, and Dr. Amen is looking forward to helping thousands more people change their brains to change their lives.
