Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Approximately 20-30 % of epilepsy patients exhibit negative findings on routine magnetic resonance imaging, and this condition is known as nonlesional epilepsy. Absence epilepsy (AE) is a prevalent form of nonlesional epilepsy. This study aimed to investigate the clinical diagnostic utility of regional homogeneity (ReHo) assessed through the support vector machine (SVM) approach for identifying AE.
