About This Trial
The main goal of this study is to determine if brain lithium-concentrations predict clinical lithium treatment-response. Secondary, to study correlations between intracerebral distribution-patterns of lithium with clinical treatment outcome.
Brain lithium concentrations will be measured using ultra-high field (7 Tesla) lithium magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, which has recently been introduced. D…
