About

High Definition Brain SPECT is a non-invasive procedure for functional imaging of the brain.  Our advanced image processing capabilities make it a very effective resource for the evaluation of patients with co-existing Neuropsychiatric conditions.

Among the most frequent indications are: neuropsychiatric suffering after Head trauma, complex variants of Epilepsy, more specific diagnosis of brain Degeneration ( Memory disorders, Dementia, Developmental disorders ), Cerebrovascular disease, ADHD + comorbidity, Learning disorders, Mood disorders, effects of Substance abuse, etc.

Dr. Pavel has a long experience in Academic Nuclear Medicine, including a one year sabbatical at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda Maryland, dedicated to functional brain imaging evaluation.

Brain SPECT is performed on the premises of The Neuroscience Center in Deerfield, IL , directed by Steven R. Best M.D. The Center is a multidisciplinary resource for diagnosis and treatment of Neuropsychiatric diseases of youngsters and adults with emphasis on complex child & adolescent patients.

On the premises there are also : (1) a modern EEG lab with interpretation provided by John Hughes M.D. (a world renowned specialist); (2) a Neuro-biofeedback lab, supervised by Cynthia Kent, Psy.D. and (3) rTMS (repetitive Trans Magnetic Stimulation) facility, supervised by S. Best M.D. Len Koziol, Psy.D. supervises neuropsychological evaluations.

The addition of Brain SPECT has allowed the Neuroscience Center to further its ability to fully evaluate the consequences of co-existing conditions and to prescribe a treatment strategy that is specifically tailored to each patient. This kind of objectively measured multi-specialty evaluation actually shortens the amount of time spent on the path from initial visit, to substantive  symptom relief.
