Association of EEG-fMRI Responses and Outcome After Epilepsy Surgery

Andreas Koupparis et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the resection of the primary EEG-fMRI cluster, especially in high confidence cases, is necessary for good outcomes in epilepsy surgery. However, removing the maximum cluster does not guarantee seizure freedom. The study provides Class II evidence that failure to resect the primary EEG-fMRI cluster is associated with poorer epilepsy surgery outcomes.

ResectVol: A tool to automatically segment and characterize lacunas in brain images

Raphael F. Casseb et al.

Summary: A new tool named ResectVol was developed to automatically segment and characterize surgical lacunas in postoperative MRI images of epilepsy patients. The performance of the tool was validated by comparing automatic and manual segmentations, resulting in a median Dice similarity coefficient of 0.77. ResectVol provides a user-friendly and fully automatic solution for these tasks, enabling more advanced analytical techniques for surgical outcomes prediction.
