In this talk I will introduce epilepsy treatment using surgery in children, which can be highly effective when drug therapy fails. Many of these patients have cortical abnormalities that are termed focal cortical dysplasia's. In this context, the identification and classification of abnormal tissue that is performed using MRI has important implications for treatment. However, there is also a unique scientific opportunity to validate MRI measures by comparison to tissue samples obtained during surgery. In this talk I show some of our results using diffusion-based MRI maps and some preliminary analysis of MPM maps. Sara Lorio will then describe our work using quantitative susceptibility maps to characterise abnormalities in cortical structure in focal cortical dysplasia.
