Can an MRI of the brain show if a person has schizophrenia?

Yes it can. This is because fMRI technology can be used to create images of oxygen use in various brain areas. It can be assumed that when an area is active, it consumes oxygen. Therefore, fMRI can identify whether or not a region is active or not during a process when it should be according to the norm.
