This study aims to identify image biomarkers for schizophrenia patients in order to predict treatment responses on individual subject basis. We develop algorithm that can discriminate remission or non-remission in patients with schizophrenia based on the difference in microstructural integrity of the white matter tracts. The ROC analysis shows that the accuracy of the prediction is 76%.
