Patent ID: 7428323

Claim:
A method for automatic diagnosis of possible brain disease, said method comprising: obtaining at least one brain scan image of a patient containing at least one feature of interest and a corresponding result of a medical profile analysis of the patient; searching a database containing parameters associated with at least one feature of a plurality of brain scan images each compiled from respective patient data and inserted into the database so as to extract from the database a set of respective parameters each associated with said at least one feature and wherein in respect of each feature at least one of the corresponding parameters is indicative of a brain disease profile; analyzing said set of respective parameters to determine a statistically significant brain disease profile which fits said patient based on the at least one feature of interest of the patient's brain scan image; extracting from the database an initial dataset containing a respective brain disease profile of a plurality of patients based on the at least one feature of interest; creating an enhanced dataset containing at least partial data in the initial dataset for which the corresponding parameters have been determined empirically to provide a better match to the brain disease profile; and using the enhanced dataset to determine the statistically significant brain disease profile which fits said patient based on the at least one feature of interest of the patient's brain scan image.
