Abstract

PURPOSE: Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a common cause of pharmacoresistant epilepsy. However, it can be challenging to detect FCD using MRI alone. This study aimed to review and analyze studies that used machine learning and artificial neural networks (ANN) methods as an additional tool to enhance MRI findings in FCD patients.
