What imaging is best to determine if my brain is showing improvement?
Q. I would like to be able to see if learning and changing my lifestyle will reverse changes in my 55 yr old brain. I would also like to determine if I can produce r sided changes as well as improve other frontal and prefrontal improvement after yrs of abuse. I have developed a protocol of cognitive therapy, learning and diet/exercise and alternative medical approaches that should help, but would like to measure neuroplastic change with imaging a well as using other psych assessment tools.

A. If you are a millionaire, a PET scan would be best to see the actual functioning of your brain. Second best would be MRI to see if the normal atrophy of brain size is slowing down. Third would be CT scan. But, you will have to pay for these out of your pocket, as no doctor would ever "prescribe" you to have these. No insurance would pay for this, as imaging really isn't best to measure these. There are neuro-psych testing tools that they use for dementia that would be better than any imaging.

What classes of drugs interfere with imaging techniques?
Q. "Name three classes of drugs that interfere with brain imaging." "Name four drugs which interfere with myocardial perfusion scintigraphy." Unfortunately, I can't seem to find this information with my mediocre search skills. I know the question might be too specific but any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

A. Theophylline drugs interfere with adenosine stress tests. Beta-blocker and calcium channel blockers interfere with dobutamine stress test. Both these tests are done during myocardial perfusion scintigraphy to assess myocardial viability and ischemia. These three classes of drugs interfere with the performance of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. Antithyroid drugs and iodinated contrast interfere with thyroid uptake and scan.

Q.

What do you think ? I started to have problems again and it lasted 1 month.
Asked by John - Thu Mar 5 17:45:16 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Unless you have recently sustained any head trauma, and the last one was normal, chances are that getting the test done again will reveal nothing. You can always request this be done if you are worried or the symptoms you are experiencing are worse than previously experienced. But there are several reasons that could be causing your migraines, such as hormones, food, flashing lights, stress, etc. If the scan comes back normal you should see a doctor that specializes in migraines, either a neurologist or pain management doctor. The key to migraines is to prevent them as best you can, either by avoidance of triggers or with medication, if necessary. A good migraine specialist will be able to get you onto a regimen that will work for you… [cont.]

Tim Russert's enlarged heart - could ultrasound or other imaging have detected it earlier?
Q. "an autopsy had found that Mr. Russert had an enlarged heart and significant coronary artery disease." Does that mean he didn't have regular health check up? Shouldn't this be caught before it's too late? Can ultrasound or other imaging find out a heart is enlarged?

A. They already reported that Russert had known coronary heart disease but that he was 'controlling' it with medications and exercise. Sometimes all the treatment in the world won't help you if you don't change your diet. If a plaque bursts, you really hit a bad break. His vessels may not have been that narrowed. A lot of people have mild cardiac enlargement and don't drop dead at 58. His body combined with diet and bad luck to create the perfect storm. An echocardiogram (ultrasound) or MRI could have shown the problem. Even a standard chest X ray can detect cardiac enlargement that would likely be obvious to a pathologist at autopsy. He probably had at least one of these tests, but one of the following happened: - he didn't have the… [cont.]

Where can I get the computer-imaging software that surgeons use during a cosmetic surgery consultation?
Q. When you go to a cosmetic surgery consultation, one thing the surgeon often does is show you what you could possbly look like after the surgery using imaging software. It is a computer program similar to Photoshop. It might actually be Photoshop, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know where I can get this software? If I could get it for free, that would be even better! I would like to have cosmetic surgery and would like to learn more about the potential results I could achieve. Thanks a million!

A. One of the computer imaging softwares that plastic surgeons use is called AlterImage. It is quite expensive and not practical for patients to buy. It is better to just consult with a plastic surgeon and have him use his software. Or, if you really want to do it yourself, you can really actually use Photoshop. It does work in a similar way. Just makes it simpler for the plastic surgeons to learn.

A. Imaging techniques in medicine include CAT scan (Computerised Axial Tomography), MRI scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and more specialised ones like PET scans. These direct rays of electromagnetic waves eg X-rays or ultrasound at an organ or tissue from various directions, then prepare a 3-D image by computer of the organ/tumour. Subsequently its size can quite readily be computed, and monitored over time.

A. Photoshop CS3 is the gold standard in image processing. (Note: not in performance, stability...) It costs slightly less than an ounce of gold. Adobe's list price is $649, but you can get it cheaper if you can swing an educational discount somehow. Their Photoshop Elements does about 90% of what Photoshop does for a fraction of the cost; you can usually get it Costco cheap or most other stores for under $100. There are also a number of free programs out there such as Picasa ( which is what I recommend for most people who just want to edit their digital snapshots; probably not what you need. There's also Gimp ( which many claim does everything Photoshop does; I've downloaded it, but I haven't gotten around to installing it to see… [cont.]

A. It all depends on your budget and "where" do you want to start. I mean, you don't really have to start with a DLSR if you don't know if you are serious about photography. So if you are just interested, buy a like the Canon Powershot S5 IS at about 500$(check more here: or just a Canon Powershot S3 IS for 300$( If you are very serious about starting photography start with a SLR such as Canon Rebel XT for 600$. Okay, the price sounds cheap but you'll have to buy lenses with it and good lenses are very, very expensive and once you have a bunch of accessories you can't give up photography so easily so buying a DSLR is about long term investment. For the software, Adobe Photoshop without hesitation. That software is pretty expensive… [cont.]
