"The most challenging aspect of the mild traumatic brain injury case is establishing an injury that in most situations you cannot show a picture of...because the MRI or CT scan is not sophisticated enough to pick up the deficits...
It's been very helpful to have the SPECT [scans]...to tie the injury to the type of impact that occurred, and the type of functional deficits that show up on neuropsychological testing...
We are very excited...to use this [SPECT] technology...[I]n trying cases it will be much easier to establish the brain injury and obtain larger awards when we have a picture and explain what it really says and its impact on that individual. We applaud the fine technology..."
