Magnetic resonance brain imaging provides good contrast between the three principal compartments of the brain: gray and white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Not only brain volumic and structural understanding, the application of magnetic imaging techniques as in Functional MRI (MRI), Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) also has greatly enhanced the range of findings in brain function of psychiatric patients. The objective of this paper was to present a brief review of the technological advances in magnetic neuroimaging, and to indicate how these techniques have impacted the study ofpsychiatry. Reviews of recent researches, examples of imaging techniques, and major findings for schizophrenia, affective disorder, anxiety, personality and other major psychiatric disorders are offered. In summary, the using of magnetic neuroimaging as an aid to diagnosis is discussed, and findings from the most accessible imaging techniques are reviewed.
灰质、白质和脑脊液（CSF）。磁共振成像技术不仅有助于了解脑容量和结构，像功能磁共振成像（fMRI）、磁共振波谱（MRS）等磁成像技术的应用，也极大地拓展了对精神疾病患者脑功能的研究范围。本文旨在简要回顾磁神经成像技术的进展，并阐述这些技术如何影响了精神病学研究。文中提供了近期研究的综述、成像技术示例，以及精神分裂症、情感障碍、焦虑症、人格障碍和其他主要精神疾病的主要研究结果。总之，本文讨论了磁神经成像在辅助诊断中的应用，并对最常用成像技术的研究结果进行了综述。
