  • IDENTIFICATION OF SEIZURE ONSET ZONE IN FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
    Publication number: 20240099602
    Abstract: A system and associated methods for accurate localization of seizure onset zone (SOZ) from independent components (IC) of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to improve surgical outcomes in children with Drug Resistant Epilepsy (DRE) are disclosed. The system and methods define a phased approach, where fMRI noise-related biomarkers are used through high fidelity image processing techniques to eliminate noise ICs. Then SOZ markers are used through a maximum likelihood-based classifier to determine SOZ localizing ICs.
