Qualitative and quantitative evaluation for the heterogeneity of cortical tubers using structural imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging to predict the epileptogenicity in tuberous sclerosis complex patients

ConclusionTuber heterogeneity may help identify the epileptogenic tubers in presurgical TSC patients. Visual assessment and standard deviation of ADC value, which are easier to implement in clinical use, may be a useful tool predicting epileptogenic tubers, improving presurgical clinical management for TSC patients with intractable epilepsy.
