    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimaging
    • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
    • Epilepsy Research

    Background:

    • Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) is a primary cause of drug-resistant epilepsy in pediatric and adult populations.
    • Accurate FCD identification is crucial for effective treatment decisions, including surgery and rehabilitation.
    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a key diagnostic tool, but manual detection of subtle and diverse FCD lesions is time-consuming and subjective.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an automated deep learning system for detecting FCD type-II lesions in brain MRI scans.
    • To enhance the accuracy and consistency of FCD diagnosis, overcoming limitations of manual interpretation.
    • To compare the performance of different deep learning architectures for FCD lesion identification.

    Main Methods:

    • An automatic slice selection architecture using Gumbel-softmax hard thresholding to identify critical slices in 3D MRI volumes.
    • Utilizing Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) enhanced pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), including DenseNet201, VGG16, and VGG19.
    • Analyzing FCD-II, T1-weighted (T1w), and FLAIR MRI sequences to detect abnormalities compared to healthy brain tissue.

    Main Results:

    • The ECA-DenseNet201 model achieved the highest classification performance.
    • Achieved high accuracy (96.7% for FLAIR, 96.8% for T1w), precision (0.972 for FLAIR, 0.957 for T1w), and F1-score (0.953 for FLAIR, 0.967 for T1w).
    • Successfully distinguished FCD-II slices from healthy brain slices using T1w and FLAIR sequences.

    Conclusions:

    • Deep learning methods, particularly ECA-DenseNet201, offer a promising automated solution for FCD type-II detection.
    • The proposed automated system can significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of FCD diagnosis.
    • This approach has the potential to aid clinicians in making more informed treatment decisions for epilepsy patients.
