摘要: Background Although structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have repeatedly demonstrated regional brain abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia, relatively few MRI-based attempted to distinguish between first-episode schizophrenia and healthy controls. Method Three-dimensional MR images were acquired from 52 (29 males, 23 females) 40 (22 18 subjects. Multiple measures (regional volume cortical thickness) calculated by a fully automated procedure used for group comparison classification linear discriminant function analysis. Results Schizophrenia showed gray matter reductions thinning various regions predominantly prefrontal temporal cortices compared controls. The classifiers obtained 66 subjects of the first successfully assigned 26 second accuracy above 80%. Conclusion Our results that combinations differentiated Such neuroimaging approaches may provide objective biological information adjunct clinical diagnosis early schizophrenia.
