Abstract
Ten male schizophrenic patients underwent Gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA) 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.
