Hamer bases his diagnoses on a particular interpretation of brain scans using exclusively computer tomography mixed with his obscure and never validated proprietary handedness-tests. CT-diagnostics are crucial in new medicine to detect so called ''Hamer-foci''. His particular interpretation is not compatible with actual knowledge in radiology. The Swiss Study Group for Complementary and Alternative Methods in Cancer writes: ''[...] The «Hamer foci» on the CT images in Hamer׳s books have been identified by radiological experts as typical artefacts produced by the radiological device which can appear in a poor-quality CT scan [...]''<ref>Swiss Study Group for Complementary and Alternative Methods in Cancer, SCAC.

Hamer believes that a sudden shock-like onset of unforeseen (and overwhelming) emotional conflict leads experienced alone would lead to a ''Dirk-Hamer-Syndrome'' (DHS), which immediately, within a fraction of a second, produces a «cancer or cancer equivalent in an organ». He postulates that every emotional process will take place synchronously in the brain, in the «organic brain» and in the organ. He adds that the tumours are allegedly controlled by the part of the brain that is ontogenetically connected with the organ in question. Hamer calls this the «ontogenetic system of tumours». In the brain, the so-called biological conflict is said to give rise to the development of a [[Hamer focus]]. By this, Hamer means particular configurations in CT brain scans which are shaped like a shooting target, and that ''had never been seen by radiologists before'', the non-radiologist Hamer adds. He claims that the locations of the Hamer foci and their degree of severity are correlated with the organs affected, the underlying ''biological conflict'' and the ''phase'' of the conflict.

Many brain-scans presented by Hamer in his books, and elsewhere, show clearly well-known ring-artefacts in radiology. Some of theses ring-artifacts can be seen on the front page of Hamer books, and on the front page of other publications of his followers.
