Abstract

This paper summarizes the neuroimaging methods in the diagnostic assessment process that have been applied to neuropsychiatric studies. Here, we outline the signal processing challenges in structural and functional neuroimaging methods and discuss the specific difficulties in multisite data analysis for the diagnosis of neuropsychiatric disorders. Currently, fMRI and other brain imaging methods are used to aid in diagnosis primarily by revealing various types of pathology; e.g., evidence of brain tumors or multiple strokes. Significant research efforts have been directed toward understanding, analyzing, and diagnosing neuropsychiatric disorders.
