Abstract
Methods and systems for providing planning and dispensation of research and/or treatment for brain disease. Radiological information is generated in a region of interest in an area of the a brain of an individual using a radiological imaging system. A physiological states model is constructed which assesses physiological states of the region of interest. Locations of sources of interstitial fluid flow, fluid conductivities of paths, and anatomical information in the region of interest are obtained using the radiological imaging information. Velocities of the interstitial fluid flow in the region of interest are computed using the physiological states model, the locations of sources of interstitial flow, the fluid conductivities, and the anatomic information. A model of the area of the brain is created, the model including the region of interest.
