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.
