i had a PET scan of my brain taken first time i was in the psych ward. I don’t remember much of it but i know they did it in the hospital close to the psych ward and there was something on the scan but i asked several times about it and they say i shouldn’t worry about what was found on the scan.

I have brain scans due to physical issues. I’m supposed to be getting another one now but due to the cost I’m opting out.

I’ve had a few brain scans, but from a head injury not for sz related things. I don’t remember the results but I think things were good.

Some of it was research, but I don’t know if the researchers were doctors. Probably doctors, psychologists and other health professionals. Some of it was because of neurological symptoms, and some of it was to exclude physical causes for psychosis.
