Dear Jason,
This paper may be relevant to what you want to do.
Improving the analysis, storage and sharing of neuroimaging data using relational databases and distributed computing
/NeuroImage/, /Volume 39, Issue 2/, /15 January 2008/, /Pages 693-706/
Uri Hasson, Jeremy I. Skipper, Michael J. Wilde, Howard C. Nusbaum and Steven L. Small
In our lab, we store neuro-psych, neurology exams, demographics, radiology ratings, and all of other clinical information in our database server (Apache+MySQL).
Hope this helps,
Hedok
