Claim 15:
16. A method of treating a disease comprising:
establishing a brain status indication parameter indicative of a brain disorder by:
recording a brain glucose metabolism image of at least a part of a brain of a patient by a neuroimaging brain scanning device;
recording a skull glucose metabolism image of at least a part of a skull of the patient by the neuroimaging brain scanning device;
determining, by a computer device and from the brain glucose metabolism image, a brain glucose metabolism indicator, the brain glucose metabolism indicator being a first value associated with brain glucose metabolism;
determining, by the computer device and from the skull glucose metabolism image, a skull glucose metabolism indicator, the skull glucose metabolism indicator being a second value associated with skull glucose metabolism; and
determining, by the computer device, the brain status indication parameter by at least calculating a ratio between the brain glucose metabolism indicator and the skull glucose metabolism indicator, or vice versa; and

treating the patient, wherein the treating comprises administering a drugs, performing surgery, and/or performing physical exercise.
