Abstract
An apparatus includes an input unit, a processing unit, and an output unit. The input unit is configured to provide the processing unit with at least one diffusion magnetic resonance imaging dMRI image of a patient's brain. The processing unit is configured to: 1) determine an estimate of an orientation of neurons at each voxel in the dMRI image; 2) determine a plurality of fiber tracts in the at least one dMRI image; 3) select a plurality of voxels along at least one fiber tract of the plurality of fiber tracts; and 4) determine a neurological disease classification.
