One of the prominent methods in neuroimaging data processing is SSM-PCA, which is based on principal component analysis and allows for the identification of diagnostically significant patterns in the form of statistical maps. We developed software, PIE Toolbox, employs SSM-PCA and classification based on the obtained diagnostic patterns revealed from functional and structural tomographic brain imaging. The program supports the entire analysis pipeline including preprocessing of brain images, diagnostic patterns extraction, building classification models, and prediction based on them. The resulting diagnostic patterns are weighted principal components obtained through SSM-PCA, or their linear combinations. PIE Toolbox allows selection of relevant structural and functional brain patterns, computation of their expression values in regions of interest, classification using support vector machines, and evaluation of model performance via cross-validation. This approach enables the use of patterns as features of intergroup differences for individual diagnosis. The software has been validated on both simulated and ADNI datasets.
