Key Points

This research aims to identify structural brain changes associated with PTSD in individuals exposed to typhoons using machine learning techniques.
Performed fixel-based analysis on brain imaging data.
Compared diffusion markers in specific white matter tracts between PTSD and trauma-exposed controls.
Utilized machine learning algorithms to analyze imaging data.
Identified specific diffusion markers as potential diagnostic indicators for PTSD.
Revealed significant structural alterations in brain white matter among individuals with PTSD compared to controls.

Abstract

Most typhoon-exposed individuals with PTSD may exhibit structural alterations in brain white matter. By combining fixel-based analysis (FBA) with machine learning, this study identified diffusion markers within specific white matter tracts and demonstrated their potential diagnostic value for distinguishing PTSD from trauma-exposed controls. These findings enhance our understanding of microstructural white matter changes and their spatial distribution in PTSD and also suggest potential imaging biomarkers for its diagnosis.
