Although psychiatric researchers have been quick to adopt magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in their investigations, its clinical application has been slow to develop and most psychiatrists remain unaware of its potential advantages and disadvantages compared with CT scanning. In this article the procedures are compared and the potential advantages of MRI highlighted with the help of neuropsychiatric case histories. Clinical situations are then discussed in which a psychiatrist should consider ordering a MRI scan subsequent to or instead of a CT scan.
尽管精神病学研究人员迅速将脑部磁共振成像（MRI）应用于他们的研究中，但其临床应用的发展却很缓慢，大多数精神科医生仍然不清楚与CT扫描相比，MRI的潜在优缺点。在本文中，我们将对这两种检查方法进行比较，并借助神经精神科病例史突出MRI的潜在优势。然后讨论一些临床情况，即在这些情况下精神科医生应该考虑在CT扫描之后或代替CT扫描而安排MRI扫描。
