White‐Matter Change in Mesial Temporal Sclerosis: Correlation of MRI with PET, Pathology, and Clinical Features

Summary: Purpose: To assess the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), pathology, and clinical findings of patients with the MRI feature of white‐matter change (WMC) in the anterior temporal lobe.
