Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for determining an efficacy of neuropsychiatric therapy, the computer implemented method comprising: a physical processor automatically comparing a first set of regions of interest in a first set of scans of a patient taken at a first time to a second set of regions of interest in a second set of scans of the patient generated at a second time period, by a neuroimage mapping manager, to create a comparison, wherein a region of interest is an area that shows an indication of a potential abnormality, an area that shows an indication of potential disease, or an area that is expected to change due to therapy; the physical processor identifying a set of changes in the regions of interest occurring over time based on the comparison; the physical processor searching a set of electronic medical literature sources for medical literature relevant to the set of changes in the regions of interest occurring over time to form relevant medical literature; the physical processor identifying portions of the relevant medical literature associated with the set of changes in the regions of interest; and the physical processor generating neuroimage mapping results, wherein the neuroimage mapping results comprises the set of changes in the regions of interest and a set of links to the portions of the relevant medical literature that are correlated to the regions of interest or the changes in the regions of interest.
