A method of classifying a test subject comprises collecting imaging data
for a plurality of training subjects, control subjects and a test
subject. An intensity volume of interest (VOI) and a morphological VOI
are selected from said imaging data. Training intensity data and
morphological data are calculated for the intensity and spatial VOI. A
statistical model can then be created based on the training intensity
data and training spatial data to provide a universe of subjects. Control
intensity data and spatial data are also calculated for the intensity and
spatial VOI. A classifier can then be built dividing the universe into at
least two regions. The test subject data can then be applied to the
classifier to provide a determination of whether the test subject falls
within the first region or the second region. The condition can be a
neurological disease state such as temporal lobe epilepsy or Alzheimer's
dementia.
