This bibliographic review analyses the utility for psychologists of using neuroimaging tests and psychological or neuropsychological tests at the same time for studying the functioning of the brain in male abusers condemned for intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). So as to be able to find an answer, we reviewed the available studies that investigated the structure or functioning of the brain. The results of these reviewed works of research show the benefits of using neuroimaging applied to male abusers, together with the use, either simultaneously or not, of other types of psychological, neuropsychological, or observational tests to complement and/or amplify the results of the neuroimaging techniques, as this can help us to advance in the knowledge of neuroscience as concerns the mind of the male abuser.
这篇文献回顾分析了心理学家在研究男性施虐者因亲密伴侣暴力（IPVAW）而被定罪时大脑功能时同时使用神经影像学测试和心理或神经心理学测试的效用。为了能够找到答案，我们回顾了调查大脑结构或功能的现有研究。这些经过审查的研究工作的结果表明，将神经影像学应用于男性施虐者是有益的，同时使用其他类型的心理、神经心理学或观察测试，无论是同时使用还是不使用，都可以补充和/或放大神经影像学技术的结果，因为这有助于我们在男性施虐者的大脑神经科学知识方面取得进展。
