Systems for and methods of utilizing a neuroimaging database are presented. The systems and methods include techniques for analyzing the pathophysiological basis of a chronic brain disease and/or the effectiveness of a treatment for a chronic brain disease, obtaining data for research of a chronic brain disease, searching for chronic brain disease symptoms identified in a clinical patient, searching a database by comparing the brain scan images of patients with suspected indications of chronic brain disease with other patients in the database to identify sets of patients with similar indications in their brain scan images, displaying brain scan information regarding a person, and using image pattern matching to analyze the pathophysiological basis of a chronic brain disease and/or the effectiveness of a proposed or previously administered treatment for a chronic brain disease. |

1. A system comprising:
an electronic database comprising a plurality of records, each of the plurality of records associated with a respective patient, each of the plurality of records comprising: one or more digital representations of a baseline functional brain scan image comprising a plurality of image planes for a respective patient, a digital representation of a medical history of a respective patient, a digital representation of demographic information of a respective patient, and a digital representation of a set of clinical symptoms of a respective patient; and one or more computer processors that:
receive a first input from a database user, convert the first input into a first query, and execute the first query, wherein a first subset of the plurality of records is identified, the first subset of the plurality of records corresponding to a treatment set of patients, each of whose respective database records indicate a diagnosis of a brain condition and that the respective patient in the treatment set received a treatment,receive a second input from a database user, convert the second input into a second query, and execute the second query, wherein a second subset of the plurality of database records is identified, the second subset of the plurality of database records corresponding to a set of patients that did not receive the treatment, each of whose respective database records indicate a diagnosis of the brain condition,output a first statistical comparison of the first subset of the plurality of database records to a normative set of electronic records corresponding to patients that were not diagnosed with the brain condition and did not receive the treatment; andoutput, for each of the one or more features, a percentage of the records in the normative database of electronic records in which the one or more features are present, wherein the percentage of the records further comprises a percentage of disease database records in which the one or more features are present and a percentage of normative database records in which the one or more features are present. |
