Lateralization of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) and Discrimination of TLE from Extra‐TLE Using Pattern Analysis of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic and Volumetric Data

Summary: Purpose: To examine whether or not pattern analysis of magnetic resonance volumetric (MRVol) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H‐MRSI) data would enable (a) the accurate lateralization of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and (b) the discrimination of TLE from extra‐temporal epilepsy (E‐TLE).
