MRI-quality and morphometric MRI analysis to identify focal cortical dysplasia: an exploratory study

For people with focal epilepsy, curative surgery can be a potential treatment option. Still, a comprehensive assessment is necessary to determine if the person is suitable for the procedure. The epileptogenic zone needs to be identified [1]. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) helps to identify structural abnormalities associated with epilepsy [2]. Detecting a lesion on an MRI scan (termed ‘MRI-positive’) is crucial, significantly enhancing the likelihood of successful epilepsy surgery and postoperative seizure freedom [3,4].
