When to order neuroimaging in first episode psychosis - for everyone or just if we have suspicions of an ‘organic’ cause?
We looked at MRI scan reports in people with first episode psychosis (n=1,486) using Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) to find out
The @NIHR_MindTech and IoPPN are offering a new PhD studentship to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of ultra-low-field MRI in assessing brain changes in dementia patients.
