Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a common pathology for pharmacoresistant focal epilepsy, yet detection of FCD on clinical MRI is challenging. Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is a novel quantitative imaging technique providing fast and reliable tissue property measurements. The aim of this study was to develop an MRF-based deep-learning (DL) framework for whole-brain FCD detection.
