CPU reads out the bloodstream associated values of target voxel of subject's standardized brain bloodstream images (step S). CPU sorts the bloodstream associated values in descending order (step S). CPU rejects bloodstream associated values that are ranked top 10% and bottom 40% (step S). When the subjects are 20 for example, bloodstream associated values of highest 2 subjects and of lowest 8 subjects are rejected. CPU calculates and stores mean value and standard deviation of remaining bloodstream associated values after the rejection (step S). CPU calculates mean value and standard deviation of bloodstream associated values for each voxel as target voxel (steps S, S, S and S). Then, the alternative normal brain database of brain bloodstream image is obtained.

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some embodiments, and database of images have categorized levels of severity of a disease or medical condition is generated from human designation of the severity. In some embodiments, the severity of a disease or medical condition is diagnosed by comparison of a patient image to images in the database. In some embodiments, changes in the severity of a disease or medical condition of a patient are measured by comparing a patient image to images in the database.

A method for assessing a treatment in a trial includes obtaining images generated from image data acquired at different times during a trial time period for a same region of interest of a subject. The treatment is administered to the subject for the trial. The method further includes co-registering the images and mapping the co-registered images to a reference image representing the region of interest. The method further includes generating a trial image of the region of interest showing at least one of structural or functional physiological changes that occurred during the trial time period based on the mapped co-registered images, and displaying the trial image.

Methods and apparatus for determining brain cortical thickness. One method includes determining an intensity profile at each of a plurality of cortical surface points of an imaged brain using brain tissue image data and calculating a cortical thickness based on a parametrically determined transition point of each intensity profile.
