Plaintiff-appellant Cynthia Mae May-field filed an application for Social Security disability benefits on March 28, 2001, alleging that she became disabled in June 1999 as the result of an automobile accident. In October 2004, an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) found that Mayfield was not entitled to disability insurance benefits under the Social Security Act. Mayfield sought review of the Commissioner’s final *482 decision in federal district court. The district court granted the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment, and May-field appealed.

The question before this court is only whether substantial evidence supports the ALJ’s decision to deny Mayfield Social Security benefits. The ALJ’s conclusion is not subject to reversal merely because evidence exists in the record that could support a different conclusion. Mullen v. Bowen, 800 F.2d 535, 545 (6th Cir. 1986). With very limited exception, the diagnostic and objective medical evidence shows no abnormalities and therefore does not support Mayfield’s treating physicians’ conclusion that she is totally and permanently disabled. As a consequence, the ALJ’s decision not to give these opinions controlling weight was not in error. Read in its entirety, the record confirms that substantial evidence supports the ALJ’s finding that Mayfield is not entitled to disability benefits for the relevant period. Because a panel opinion further addressing the issues raised would serve no jurisprudential purpose, we affirm the district court’s order granting summary judgment to the Commissioner on the grounds identified by that court.
