Abstract
A method of establishing a brain status indication parameter indicative of a brain disorder is disclosed. The method comprising the steps: —determining a brain energy metabolism indicator of at least a part of the brain of a subject, —determining a skull energy metabolism indicator of at least a part of the skull of said subject, —establishing the brain status indication parameter by at least relating said brain energy metabolism indicator to said skull energy metabolism indicator. Also disclosed are a system for establishing such brain status indication parameter, a computer program, and methods for treating a disease.
Claims17
A method of establishing a brain status indication parameter indicative of a brain disorder, comprising:
- recording a brain glucose metabolism image of at least a part of a brain of a subject by a neuroimaging brain scanning device;
- recording a skull glucose metabolism image of at least a part of a skull of said subject by said 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 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.
A brain status establishment system for establishing a brain status indication parameter indicative of a brain disorder, the system comprising:
- a neuroimaging brain scanning device configured to
- record a brain glucose metabolism image of at least a part of a brain of a subject;
- and
- record a skull glucose metabolism image of at least a part of a skull of the subject;
- and
- a computer device comprising instructions which, when executed by the computer device, causes the computer device to perform operations comprising:
- determining, from the brain glucose metabolism image, a brain glucose metabolism indicator, the brain glucose metabolism indicator being a first value associated brain glucose metabolism;
- determining, 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 the brain status indication parameter by at least calculating a ratio between the brain glucose metabolism indicator and skull glucose metabolism indicator, or vice versa.
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.
