MRI-reading AI homes in on the key brain regions in epilepsy | Fierce Biotech

Oct 11, 2022

The University College London research team said its AI algorithm could potentially boost the number of drug-resistant epilepsy cases successfully treated with surgery by detecting more cortical abnormalities than can be spotted by humans alone.

Epilepsy still has no cure, and while many cases can be managed with anti-seizure medications, as many as 30% of cases are drug-resistant and therefore require more intensive treatment methods. | “This algorithm could help to find more of these hidden lesions in children and adults with epilepsy and enable more patients with epilepsy to be considered for brain surgery that could cure the epilepsy and improve their cognitive development,” Konrad Wagstyl, Ph.D., co-senior author of the study, said in a statement.
