| Abstract: | Ten male schizophrenic patients underwent Gadolinium-DTPA (GdDTPA) enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to determine the utility of paramagnetic contrast agents in evaluating neuropathology. MR images enhanced by Gd-DTPA demonstrated no defect in the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. |
| Keywords: | Magnetic resonance imaging blood-brain barrier choroid plexus ventricular size cortical sulcal enlargement |
