Computerized brain imaging techniques have been increasingly used in research into psychiatric disorders. Structural imaging has disclosed subtle brain abnormalities in conditions such as schizophrenia. Functional imaging has shown that metabolic changes in the brain in Alzheimer's disease predate cerebral atrophy and has demonstrated unusual patterns of function in psychotic illnesses.
计算机化脑成像技术越来越多地被用于精神疾病的研究。结构成像已揭示出诸如精神分裂症等病症中细微的脑部异常。功能成像显示，阿尔茨海默病患者大脑中的代谢变化早于脑萎缩，并已证明在精神疾病中存在异常的功能模式。
