Dr. Phil Provides Cutting-Edge Brain Imaging for Guests With Neurological and Behavioral Disorders

Posted on: Thursday, 26 January 2006, 09:00 CST

Dr. Phil McGraw said, "I think one of the things that we can and should do, is to do this brain imaging and find out exactly what's going on with you...," Dr. Phil told guests, who eagerly agreed to have a cutting-edge brain scan at a Brain Matters Imaging Center.

The nationally televised Dr. Phil Show on Tuesday last week covered a topic relating to "extreme neurological disorders," including Tourette's Syndrome and Asperger's Syndrome.

"What we're learning now with brain imaging...is that most of these problems (neurological disorders) have a (biological) brain basis, a neurological basis," shared S. Gregory Hipskind, MD, PhD, who is Senior Medical Advisor for Brain Matters in Denver and Los Angeles.

"If someone had a problem with their leg, you would certainly want to take an x-ray. Similarly, our philosophy is that most of these problems have as the organ of interest the brain. These are brain problems and they have a biological basis," noted Dr. Hipskind.

"Your expertise in this goes well beyond probably anybody in the country, as a matter of fact...," proclaimed Dr. Phil when describing the extensive experience of Dr. Hipskind.

Brain Matters Imaging Centers provide sophisticated Brain SPECT imaging that details blood flow in specific regions of the brain that correlates directly with brain function. This advanced technology identifies brain-based conditions such as: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI); Seizures; Stroke; Alzheimer's and other dementia processes; Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); Depression; Bipolar Disorder; Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD); Anxiety; Tourette's Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorders.
