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.

Can a CT brain scan tell you if you have alzheimers?
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.
Can a ct scan without contrast detect brain tumor?
Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.
What will a cat scan of the brain show?
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
Does a cat scan show a concussion?
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.

Can a brain scan detect schizophrenia?
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.

Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.
Will an MRI show a brain aneurysm?
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.

What is instatrak CT?
An InstaTrak CT refers to a CT or CAT scan, usually of the sinuses, which is done prior to performing a sinus surgery in which the surgeon will use the InstaTrak Surgical Navigation System. Although the majority of CT scans for the InstaTrak are done for sinus surgery, some Neurosurgeons will order a CT scan for a brain surgery. This is usually rare because for most brain surgeries, the surgeon will utilize an MRI scan with The InstaTrak which will typically show the detail of the softer brain tissues better for the surgeon.
