QEEG and SPECT: From Competition to Compersion
Presented by: Jay Gattis
Get the inside scoop on SPECT scans. Holding the benefits of a QEEG as a given, what does SPECT offer us? I'll explain in monotone how a SPECT is performed, what it is measuring, how the results are processed and presented, and what we know about how that relates to QEEG findings. I'll likely get passionate about the strengths and weaknesses of each neuroimaging methodology and their respective use cases.
Learning Objectives:
o Participants will be able to identify the strengths and limitations of QEEG and SPECT.
o Participants will be able to describe the potential benefits of combining QEEG and SPECT information for diagnosing and treating complex neuropsychiatric cases.
o Participants will be able to identify use cases for a SPECT scan referral.
o Participants will be able to utilize various types of neuroimaging tools and analyses for creating treatment plans.
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
Content builds upon the learner's foundational knowledge, familiarity with the literature and/or experience in a content area. Programming at this level includes more depth than at a beginning level program. It could also serve as a refresher course for individuals who have a background in a content area and are interested in learning more contemporary applications. The primary goal of this particular program is to broaden the clinical, consultative, and research knowledge bases of attendees and was deemed intermediate, by the definition above. For those psychologists using the modality of biofeedback and interested in efficacy, science, and latest clinical applications. This conference presents research relevant to psychological practice, education, and science; (2) it is our intention to host an offering to help psychologists to keep up with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention, and education; and (3) we believe that this program would allow psychologists to increase competencies to improve services to patients. This conference is IN NO WAY a substitute for the basic academic education and training needed for entry into the field of psychology.
