Abstract

BACKGROUND: Accurate classification of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) has been challenging due to the problematic visual detection in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Hence, recently, there has been a necessity for employing new techniques to solve the problem. Among the new techniques for FCD lesion diagnosis, classification techniques can be of great help in FCD patient's detection from healthy individuals.
