A member asked:
Please tell me will schizophrenia appear on an mri scan, years before symptoms occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indication Yes.: Brain scans using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have shown a number of abnormalities in the brain's structure associated with schizophrenia. Such problems can cause nerve damage and disconnections in the pathways that carry brain chemicals. Because these problems tend to show up on brain scans of people with chronic schizophrenia rather than newly diagnosed patients, some doctors believe they.
