<h3>SPECT</h3>

<p>Neurologist Michael Greicius, who runs the <a title="Stanford University" href="/wiki/Stanford_University">Stanford University</a> memory clinic, said: "SPECT scans are not sufficiently sensitive or specific to be useful in the diagnosis of <a title="Alzheimer's disease" href="/wiki/Alzheimer%27s_disease">Alzheimer's disease</a>..<b>.The PBS airing of Amen's program provides a stamp of scientific validity to work which has no scientific validity</b>."<sup id="cite_ref-Salon_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Salon-6">[7</a></sup>
