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 2006 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. BPD is one of the most prevalent and commonly studied personality disorder and data regarding other types in lacking. Moreover, due to the co-occurence of other mental health conditions with PDs, it becomes difficult to ascertain the specific findings present in neuroimaging in PD. However, most of the studies reveals that changes in BPD is apparent in amygdala and limbic system in the brain. The findings in BPD on neuroimaging represent difference in volume and activity in brain structures.
