LOS ANGELES — An open-source artificial intelligence (AI) module can help identify epileptic lesions on MRI missed by human reviewers, including both focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) and hippocampal sclerosis, according to new research.
An estimated 42%-55% of adult and pediatric patients with epilepsy who undergo surgery with negative MRI findings have FCDs, which are malformations of cortical development, according to Sophie Adler, MBPhD, who spoke at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) 78th Annual Meeting 2024.
Various efforts have been made to use automated machine learning to identify FCDs. Adler, a medical student at University College London, London, England, and colleagues developed an open-source machine learning program, published in 2022, which uses a neural network for FCD detection based on 33...
