Summary
This article from Amen Clinics discusses how SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) imaging can detect brain changes associated with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive brain disease caused by repeated head injuries. The piece explains the pathology of CTE, including tau protein buildup and brain cell death, and argues that SPECT scans offer a valuable tool for identifying CTE-related abnormalities in living patients. It emphasizes that cognitive decline is not inevitable and promotes brain health protection strategies, while also serving as promotional content for Amen Clinics' diagnostic services.
