Wow. Thank you.
So much interesting here. Metabolic MRI, wow! Brain MRI's can detect cysts, tumors, vasculitis, abcesses, hormonal disorders like pituitary problems or cushing syndrome according to . Whenever someone on the internet brings up brain MRI's, people spew the same shit they feel they're expected to spew - 'you don't know how MRI works, they can't diagnose anything yada yada'. It's just like how everyone says 'go see a doctor' when people ask for medical advice, and they get easy upvotes. I find it really funny. I doubt the people cynical about brain MRI's are neuroradiologists or anything, or psychiatric taxonomists critical of neuroimaging as a diangostic tool. I reckon they've just asked that question before, or something analogous, and internalised that 'it's not a done thing, now I should enforce that rule too'.
