SINGAPORE - MRI shows promise for helping to diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to a presentation delivered May 7 at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) meeting. In the past, there have not been particular visual abnormalities on conventional MRI that could help diagnose PTSD.
