Resting state CBF maps (n=234) collected from the
multisite FBIRN Phase 3 Study
(http://www.birncommunity.org) were used as learning
features in a support vector machines (SVM)
classification technique to evaluate its performance in
differentiating Schizophrenic patients (SCZ) from
healthy controls (CNT). For feature extraction, clusters
of voxels with group differences (SCZ vs. CNT) were
first identified (t-test, p<0.01) and the mean CBF
values across these clusters were used as the training
data. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for the
leave-one-out cross validation were found to be 75.9%,
75.5%, and 75.7%, respectively. The results suggest that
the CBF map acquired from a 5-minute ASL scan combined
with SVM may be a useful complimentary tool for
diagnosis of SCZ.
