General Guidelines General (Plain) Radiography American College of Radiology, standards. 1996 Practice guideline for eating disorders. American Psychiatric Association 1993. 51 pages. From the National Guideline Clearinghouse summary: "Although abnormalities are frequently found on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT scans of the head and EEG [of eating disorder patients,] the therapeutic implications of these findings are unclear. Consequently, these tests are not routinely indicated. Consultants are of mixed opinions as to whether abnormalities on such tests are likely to increase patient compliance with treatment; the large majority believe that they have little value in this regard, but others believe that presenting patients with objective evidence of brain abnormalities may increase compliance with treatment." Am J Psychiatry 1993 Feb;150(2):212-28 [182 references] << Back |
