Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and SPECT Brain Imaging in Cerebral Decompression Illness
Description:
SPECT brain imaging has been shown to be the most sensitive imaging modality for cerebral
decompression illness. This study is a retrospective review of the PI’s experience using
SPECT brain imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of all phases of cerebral decompression
illness over the past two decades. The purpose of the study is to see if the functional
imaging is consistent with the clinical condition and cognitive testing. Chart review of
symptoms, and physical exam findings will be compared before and after treatment to SPECT
brain imaging radiological readings to assess concordance.
