It would be great if we had access to getting PET scanned for TPSO. "They measured levels of a substance called translocator protein 18KDa (TSPO), which are thought to rise when the brain responds to traumatic injuries."

If anybody has an appointment with a neuro, you could ask to see if this PET scan is available.
