CT scan
There are no specific CT scan findings associated with personality disorder that may help in diagnosis. In most cases, CT scan tool is employed to rule out any structural neurological conditions that may be responsible for personality changes. A study conducted in 1983 by Synder et al. examined the CT scans of 26 patients diagnosed with BPD according to DSM criteria and all were found to be normal. [1]. PET CT scan is a better modality for observing changes in PDs than CT scan.
