I am interested in hearing from people that have had a SPECT scan done. Specifically around serial scans and whether or not they showed improvement over time with treatment. Has anyone done this? What are some of the better options for specifically dealing with hypoperfusion in the brain that may be visible on a SPECT scan? Thanks

Hey Scott,

I've had 2 SPECT scans, a year and a hlaf apart, at Columbia, NY. I am not sure what you mean by "serial". I would be happy to share my info w/u. What would you like to know?

I meant > 1 test and if the test results showed less hypoperfusion, etc. as the patient was treated?
