Possible studies needed for your evaluation.

Hormonal Panel
Initial
Our program starts with a comprehensive hormonal panel that looks for interruption of hormonal production caused by the head trauma (Hypothalamic-Pituitary axis).  Traditional laboratory testing fails to address the association between head trauma and the failure to make hormones.  An initial level is obtained and then repeated at 3mos, 6mos, 9mos, and 12mons based upon initial levels and treatment.
MRI
Recent studies have shown that the newer MRI systems can detect previously missed areas of damage (scars).
fMRI
fMRI can image the activity of the brain in real-time.
Damaged areas fail to show activity when you are thinking.
DT MRI
DTI-MRI is one of the newest technology that can identify damage to nerve bundles that communicate one portion of the brain with another.
PET Scan
Initial
Address brain activity.
SPECT Scan
Initial
Address brain activity.
NeuroPsychiatric
Evaluation

Psychometric evaluation is used to monitor your improvement in cognitive, social, and emotional performance which are significantly affected by hormonal deficiencies.

Physical Evaluation

During the physical examination signs of neurotrauma will be sought and documented.

NeuroRehabilitation

If hormone deficiencies or insufficiencies are identified they will be corrected to optimal normal levels.
