A support vector machine classification approach combining gray matter volume and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations information was utilized to distinguish schizophrenia patients from health controls. One hundred drug-naive first episode schizophrenia patients and 100 controls were scanned using a high-resolution 3D T1-weighted sequence and EPI sequence on a 3T MR imaging system. The classification yielded an accuracy of 83.5%. For the first time, we provides the evidence for evaluating the MR diagnostic value in a large sample of antipsychotic-naive first-episode schizophrenia, supporting the anatomical and functional deficits could be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of schizophrenia.
