Psychological illness does not usually result in changes which can be seen on MRI. Current medical thinking is that many mental health problem are caused by imbalance of chemicals, which wouldn't change the "shape" of a brain.
Certain modern CT scan techniques may show if you have a tendency or likelihood of Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's doesn't appear as a concrete thing but certain distance measurements from the brain ventricles to the mid line of the brain can be plotted by specialist doctors in a special table to determine the likelihood of Alzheimer's. The degree of atrophy of the brain can also indicate problems with senility.
Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.
A CT scan will show evidence of inflammation, perforation, collection of pus or fluid, lump or swelling or tumours, presence of any stones in the kidneys and gallbladder with any evidence of obstruction etc
A cat scan is the nickname given to a special type of x-ray known as a computed tomography scan, or CT scan for short. This allows doctors to see inside the body without cutting it open and the procedures is commonly used to find problems inside the skull, such as brain tumors or signs of a stroke.
do lymph nodes show on a cat scan
A brain scan cannot detect schizophrenia, although many people with schizophrenia do have abnormal brain scans. The brain damage is not apparent until the disease has already progressed far enough to show clear signs of schizophrenia.
An epilepsy brain scan, often using techniques like an EEG or MRI, can reveal abnormal electrical activity or structural changes in the brain that are associated with seizure disorders. The scan may show areas of brain damage, scarring, or lesions that could be contributing to seizure activity. Additionally, an EEG can detect spikes or waves indicative of epilepsy. These findings help in diagnosing the type of epilepsy and guiding treatment options.
Only a MRI can tell for sure
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan can be used to observe brain metabolism by detecting levels of glucose consumption. Alternatively, a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan can show blood flow changes associated with brain activity.
A scan tool would pull up any codes to could show a problem with the PCM/ECU.

None are diagnostic of the disorder, but PET scan and FMRI scan can show differences in metabolism. These differences can sometimes identify different moods.
Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.
If it's a structural MRI, it will show you a picture of the structure of your brain, allowing you to see the shape and location of different brain areas. Since the 'normal' layout of the brain is known, an individual's brain can then be compared to the 'normal' brain to check for abnormalities like bleeding in the brain, or tumors, or signs of cell death, etc. If it's a functional MRI (fMRI), it shows the activity of brain regions. For example, if you scan a person who is not looking at anything, you will see an image of the brain activity. Now, if you scan this same person while they are looking at something, you will see that the areas responsible for visual processing have a higher level of activity. Subtracting the amount of activity from the image taken when the person wasn't looking at something from the image taken when they were will let you determine how much this brain region activated in response to what you showed them.

Scans dont always show anything until after 6 weeks.
