A method is to be implemented by a computing device and includes steps of: a) identifying, according to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image, brain image regions each of which contains a respective portion of diffusion index values of at least one diffusion index, which results from image processing performed on said at least one MRI image; b) for each of the brain image regions, calculating a characteristic parameter based on the respective portion of the diffusion index values; and c) diagnosing the brain examined with one of predetermined categories of the neurological disorder by performing classification on a combination of the characteristic parameters via a classifier.
