Abstract
Methods and systems for diagnosing a condition of a central nervous system are provided. A method includes providing a DBSI-MRI data set obtained from the central nervous system of the subject, and transforming the DBSI-MRI data set to obtain at least one DBSI biomarker value. The method further includes comparing each DBSI biomarker value to at least one corresponding threshold value from a diagnostic database to obtain a relation between each DBSI biomarker value and the at least one corresponding threshold value, and diagnosing the condition according to at least one diagnostic rule, wherein each diagnostic rule defines a candidate condition in terms of the relations between the at least one DBSI biomarker value and the at least one corresponding threshold value.
