A neuroimaging-based approach to predict treatment response in mental disorders by acquiring and analysing brain PET dopamine measures from patients. The method uses a short, simplified protocol for [18F]FDOPA brain PET imaging adapted for clinical practice (104). Individual [18F]FDOPA brain PET data are then quantified with a fully-automated analysis pipeline to extract information on the dopamine function of the subject (106). This information coupled with clinical information is run through a prediction algorithm to identify those patients whose illness will not respond to conventional antipsychotics (108).

Abstract
A neuroimaging-based approach to predict treatment response in mental disorders by acquiring and analysing brain PET dopamine measures from patients. The method uses a short, simplified protocol for [18F]FDOPA brain PET imaging adapted for clinical practice (104). Individual [18F]FDOPA brain PET data are then quantified with a fully-automated analysis pipeline to extract information on the dopamine function of the subject (106). This information coupled with clinical information is run through a prediction algorithm to identify those patients whose illness will not respond to conventional antipsychotics (108).
