Researchers are hopeful that a newly developed MRI algorithm can open the door for the treatment of more patients with epilepsy.

When applied to brain imaging, the algorithm assists in the detection of subtle abnormalities in instances of drug-resistant focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), which is known to cause epilepsy and is historically difficult to detect.

The algorithm’s development and validation were detailed recently in the journal Brain. In the paper, the authors shared that they used more than 1,000 MRI scans from 22 different epilepsy centers to carry out the Multicenter Epilepsy Lesion Detection project (MELD).

“We put an emphasis on creating an AI algorithm that was interpretable and could help doctors make decisions,” co-first author, Mathilde...
