Imaging Epileptic Seizures Using fMRI

An overview of deep learning techniques for epileptic seizures detection and prediction based on neuroimaging modalities: Methods, challenges, and future works

“…Specialist physicians usually use functional and structural neuroimaging techniques to diagnose epileptic seizures. Electroencephalogram (EEG) (Yuan et al, 2018a;Fan and Chou, 2018), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (Vaughan and Jackson, 2020;Garner et al, 2019), magnetoencephalography (MEG) (Colon et al, 2018;Rampp et al, 2019), electrocorticography (ECoG) (Mohammadpoory et al, 2019;Siddiqui et al, 2019), functional nearinfrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) (Rosas-Romero et al, 2019;Guevara et al, 2020), positron emission tomography (PET) (Oldan et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2019), and SPECT (El Tahry et al, 2018) are the most substantial functional neuroimaging modalities. In contrast, structural MRI (sMRI) (Rüber et al, 2018;Xu et al, 2020b) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) (Bao et al, 2018;Chapman et al, 2005) are in the category of structural neuroimaging modalities.…”
