Limitation of neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging for the detection of focal cortical dysplasia with a “transmantle sign”

We read with great interest the paper by Rostampour et al., entitled “Detection of structural abnormalities of cortical and subcortical grey matter in patients with MRI-negative refractory epilepsy using neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging,” which was recently published in Physica Medica [1]. As explained by the authors, identification of the epile ptogenic focus in patients with refractory epilepsy is crucial to improving the surgical outcome. However, conventional MRI often fails to identify lesions [1,2].
