Towards clinically useful neuroimaging in psychiatric practice

Deborah Cooper et al. Br J Psychiatry. 2013 Sep.

Abstract

When psychiatrists see a patient, they consider a diagnosis, estimate a prognosis and treat accordingly, but very few of these decisions are informed by objective tests. Recent advances in neuroimaging data analysis have shown that brain scans can make powerful diagnostic and prognostic predictions in patients with psychosis and depression.
