Description
Description:
By not looking at brain function in complex psychiatric cases, physicians often miss important information, which leads to erroneous diagnoses and missed opportunities for effective treatment. This lecture will explore how using functional brain imaging tools improves diagnoses and opens a new world of understanding and hope for many patients.
Educational Objectives:
- List 5 clinical indications for functional brain imaging.
- Understand 3 reasons mental health practitioners have not been exposed to the clinical utility of neuroimaging.
- List 5 ways looking at the brain changes clinical practice.
