Details of features

I. Fiber tract features

I.1. Histogram analysis (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100-percentile) of T1, T2, DWI, ADC, ZT1, ZT2, ZDWI, ZADC signal values within each of the 28 major fiber bundles as defined in the JHU atlas [123]

I.2. Skewness (asymmetry), kurtosis (flatness), uniformity and randomness (entropy and standard deviations) of T1, T2, DWI, ADC, ZT1, ZT2, ZDWI, ZADC signal values in each brain structures

II. Regional anatomy features

II.1. Histogram analysis (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100-percentile) of T1, T2, DWI, ADC, ZT1, ZT2, ZDWI, ZADC signal values within the brain and each of the 61 auto-segmented brain structures/regions

II.2. Skewness (asymmetry), kurtosis (flatness), uniformity and randomness (entropy) of T1, T2, DWI, ADC, ZT1, ZT2, ZDWI, ZADC signal values in the brain and 61 auto-segmented regions

II.3. Volume of the 61 auto-segmented structures/regions as measured in T1 image

II.4. Left/right asymmetry in features II.1–II.3
