MRI representations benchmarked for deep learning FCD segmentation

Researchers have benchmarked different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) representations for deep learning-based segmentation of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). Using the nnU-Net framework on a dataset of 85 FCD subjects and 25 controls, they evaluated eight input configurations. The study found that FLAIR images performed best as a single modality, while combining ratio-derived representations with T1w and FLAIR images improved lesion delineation, with a four-channel multimodal configuration achieving the highest Dice score of 0.376.

    Benchmarking MRI Representations for Deep Learning-Based Focal Cortical Dysplasia Segmentation

    arXiv:2607.15605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is one of the leading structural causes of drug-resistant focal epilepsy, yet its subtle and heterogeneous imaging characteristics make accurate identification and delineation challenging on convention…
