Do Neuropsychologists use brain scans such as CT or MRI for diagnosis?

I’m very interested in the human brain and why/how it functions. I always have been. I spend my free time researching online through various sources for fun. I’d like to pursue schooling, but what fascinates me even more are the images/radiographs taken to identify any structural abnormalities. Like how people with schizophrenia tend to have less grey matter around the frontal lobe region. Does this go hand in hand with the profession or is this another field of work? I know it is not strictly used as the main source for diagnosis. I’m struggling to find a direct answer online, so I wanted to ask real people currently in the field. I hope this reaches the right audience!

Yes this is exactly what I mean, it’s in my understanding that Neuropsychologists do not attend medical school. So I know they would not be ordering but rather looking over it or like you said, reading what the radiologists report is. That’s awesome!

No need to downvote them, they are just trying to relate and make conversation — Thank you for the book reference, I thoroughly enjoy reading and I’ll go ahead and check it out it ☺️

Good to know, thank you very much! 🙌🏼

Question, what was the duration of your schooling and what steps did you take to achieve where you are today? If you don’t mind me asking
