In contrast to other areas of medicine, considerable gaps exist between neuroimaging research and clinical practice in psychiatry. Extensive research demonstrates significant alterations captured with multimodal brain imaging in various psychiatric conditions. Along with cognitive and electrophysiological approaches, neuroimaging methods have been central to the neurobiological conceptualization of psychiatric disorders. In fact, imaging research was central to shifts from psychological to biological models in the 1970’s and 1980’s (Cunningham Owens, Johnstone et al. 1980). Imaging tools provide advantages over other methods in light of their wide availability and ability to provide non-invasive quantitative data on structural, functional and chemical alterations in the brain. Moreover, imaging approaches have demonstrated considerable potential for capturing biologically homogeneous subgroups of patients with complex brain disorders, offering pathways for novel translational and clinical applications (Sun, Lui et al. 2015, Lui, Zhou et al. 2016, Zhang, Xiao et al. 2018).Nevertheless, despite considerable advances in neuroimaging research, brain imaging is still not a widely used tool in diagnostic algorithms for psychiatric disorders. Multiple hindrances contribute to this persisting research-clinical practice gap, including but not limited to the innate complexity of psychiatric disorders, overwhelming clinical and biological heterogeneity of the current diagnostic constructs, poor diagnostic specificity and lack of established reliability of imaging findings from large scale validation studies, as well as considerable practical demands related to implementation of quantitative neuroimaging
