Volumetric magnetic resonance imaging has become a routine investigation in the management of patients with chronic partial epilepsy. However, even with the use of reformatted images, an underlying cause for epilepsy cannot be found in many of these patients. We show that further processing of the data, including three-dimensional reconstruction and quantitative analysis of the volume and complexity of the images in three dimensions, reveals additional positive information in up to 75% of patients. This may be useful for surgical planning, prognostication, and understanding of the structure and development of the human brain.
容积磁共振成像已成为慢性部分性癫痫患者管理中的常规检查。然而，即使使用重新格式化的图像，许多此类患者仍无法找到癫痫的潜在病因。我们表明，对数据进行进一步处理，包括三维重建以及对图像在三个维度上的体积和复杂性进行定量分析，在多达75%的患者中可揭示额外的阳性信息。这可能对手术规划、预后评估以及理解人脑的结构和发育有用。
