I live near the Reston, VA Amen Clinic.  How much do the 2-type (external and internal) scans cost?  Is there counseling included with that cost?  Does it vary so much that I should call them?  Thanks ahead of time for the answers.  radiantrachel

Yes, you should call to see what you need. 866-260-8227.  Each scan comes with the internal and external views.  We often do two scans, one at rest and one during concentration, plus a history to put the scans in context.

Are there risks involved in doing scans on children?  My niece lives near Reston and has two boys; the younger one (8) often has rather violent outbreaks; both boys, unfortunately, play all sports including tackle football, soccer and downhill skiing. I’m just in the process of informing my niece about Dr. Amen’s work and am unsure what the pros and cons are of having a young boy scanned, would rather ask here before I broach the topic with my niece (who is not particularly open to such ideas). I know that some substance is given to those scanned: what effects do this process have on the person being scanned? Thank you for any information you can give on this topic.

The risks are minimal. I scanned my kids when they were younger and my granddaughter at 10 months.  The hardest part of the scan is a tiny needle in a vein in their arms.  They do get some radiation, but it is a normal, medical amount.
