Virtual scanning--a new system of medical assessment and treatment: Part I. Assessment

PURPOSE: We summarize fundamental concepts and research supporting Virtual Scanning, a Russian system of health assessment and treatment, which uses computer modeling of brain function to analyze color cognition and so identify and evaluate specific influences from all parts of the nervous system. METHODS: In Virtual Scanning, quantitative estimates of deviation from predefined measures of good health of all body parts, including organs and organ systems, yield a body scan in virtual reality. RESULTS: Russian evaluations are summarized, with examples of instances in which Virtual Scanning was found to provide early warnings of clinical conditions before conventional tests had detected problems.
