Epilepsy is a neurological condition in which brain nerve cell activity is disturbed, resulting in seizures.International researchers working under the direction ofhave created an artificial intelligence algorithm that can identify subtle brain abnormalities that cause epileptic seizures.
The scientists utilized about 300,000 locations throughout the brain to develop the algorithm, which measured cortical features using MRI scans, such as how thick or folded the cortex/brain surface was. After that, based on patterns and characteristics, professional radiologists classified examples as either having FCD or having a healthy brain, which served as the algorithm’s training data., the algorithm was successful in identifying the FCD in 67% of cases in the cohort .
Co-first author, Mathilde Ripart said: “We put an emphasis on creating an AI algorithm that was interpretable and could help doctors make decisions. Showing doctors how the MELD algorithm made its predictions was an essential part of that process.” In the UK some 600,000 people are affected. While drug treatments are available for the majority of people with epilepsy, 20-30% do not respond to medications.
Co-first author, Dr. Hannah Spitzer said: “Our algorithm automatically learns to detect lesions from thousands of MRI scans of patients. It can reliably detect lesions of different types, shapes and sizes, and even many of those lesions that were previously missed by radiologists.”
