Magnetization transfer imaging alterations and its diagnostic value in antipsychotic-naïve first-episode schizophrenia

Abstract Magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) may provide more sensitivity and mechanistic understanding of neuropathological changes associated with schizophrenia than volumetric MRI. This study aims to identify brain magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) changes in antipsychotic-naïve first-episode s...
