Quantitative volume-based morphometry in focal cortical dysplasia: A pilot study for lesion localization at the individual level

ConclusionVolume abnormalities can assist in the diagnosis of epileptogenic zones at the individual level in FCD patients with negative or positive findings on conventional MR images. Atrophic regions are more likely than hypertrophic ones to represent epileptogenic zones. Volume-based morphometry based on a MorphoBox prototype has potential to assist a careful scrutiny by radiologists with target in atrophic regions in patients who are initially deemed to be MR-negative, further trying to increase the detection rate of FCD.Graphical abstract
