Editing Eating disorder (section)

=== Medical ===
The diagnostic workup typically includes complete medical and psychosocial history and follows a rational and formulaic approach to the diagnosis. Neuroimaging using [[fMRI]], [[MRI]], [[positron emission tomography|PET]] and [[SPECT]] scans have been used to detect cases in which a lesion, tumor or other organic condition has been either the sole causative or contributory factor in an eating disorder. "Right frontal intracerebral lesions with their close relationship to the limbic system could be causative for eating disorders, we therefore recommend performing a cranial MRI in all patients with suspected eating disorders" (Trummer M ''et al.'' 2002), "intracranial pathology should also be considered however certain is the diagnosis of early-onset anorexia nervosa. Second, neuroimaging plays an important part in diagnosing early-onset anorexia nervosa, both from a clinical and a research prospective".(O'Brien ''et al.'' 2001).<ref name="Trummer2002" /><ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=O'Brien A, Hugo P, Stapleton S, Lask B |title="Anorexia saved my life": coincidental anorexia nervosa and cerebral meningioma |journal=The International Journal of Eating Disorders |volume=30 |issue=3 |pages=346–9 |date=November 2001 |pmid=11746295 |doi=10.1002/eat.1095}}</ref>
