Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To find the covert patterns of abnormality in patients with unilateral temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and visually normal brain magnetic resonance images (MRI-negative), comparing them to those with visible abnormalities (MRI-positive). METHODS: We used multimodal brain MRI from patients with unilateral TLE and employed contemporary machine learning methods to predict the known laterality of seizure onset in 104 subjects (82 MRI-positive, 22 MRI-negative). A visualization approach entitled "Importance Maps" was developed to highlight image features predictive of seizure laterality in both the MRI-positive and MRI-negative cases. RESULTS: Seizure laterality could be predicted with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.981 (95% confidence interval [CI] =0.974-0.989) in MRI-positive and 0.842 (95% CI = 0.736-0.949) in MRI-negative cases. The known image features arising from the hippocampus were the leading predictors of seizure laterality in the MRI-positive cases, whereas widespread temporal lobe abnormalities were revealed in the MRI-negative cases. SIGNIFICANCE: Covert abnormalities not discerned on visual reading were detected in MRI-negative TLE, with a spatial pattern involving the whole temporal lobe, rather than just the hippocampus. This suggests that MRI-negative TLE may be associated with subtle but widespread temporal lobe abnormalities. These abnormalities merit close inspection and postacquisition processing if there is no overt lesion.
