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.
