Synopsis

With the AI technical development, psychoradiology is primed to assist clinician for improving the clinical care of the psychiatric patients.

Psychoradiology is a subspecialty of radiology with the growing intersection between fields of radiological imaging and psychiatry/psychology. It applies radiological technologies, particularly the multimodal MR imaging along with the comprehensively designed image acquisition and analysis algorithm, to investigate and guide optimal treatment for mental illnesses. Because brain alterations of psychiatric patients are relatively subtle, quantitative, rapid and efficient image analysis tools that combine information from different imaging analyses are needed to obtain clinically meaningful information about patients’ brain anatomy and function. The present talk will therefore summarize the most recent findings of the psychoradiology in conjunction with the AI development, and their implications for clinical care of the psychiatric patients.
