Hi Mimi,
When I was younger I was in an OCD study at NIH. They did a PET scan on me there. They injected a dye into me and then took pictures of my brain to see what part of my brain was being used by picking up the radiactive dye in my brain.
By the way, what indication do you have that ECT causes brain damage? I interviewed for a study at Columbia last year for a magnetic study and they said they had tested it on animals and found no brain damage. I guess they autopsied the animals after the magnetic stimulation, I'm not sure. Maybe there is some literature an animal studies for ECT brain damage. I guess I'll look into it. Also, they were going to give me neuropsych tests before and after the study to see if there were any brain changes.
Bye,
Dave
