 Abstract: In drug-resistant focal epilepsy, detecting epileptogenic lesions using MRI poses a critical diagnostic challenge. Here, we assessed the utility of MP2RAGE-a T1-weighted sequence with self-bias correcting properties commonly utilized in ultra-high field MRI-for the detection of epileptogenic lesions using a surface-based morphometry pipeline based on FreeSurfer, and compared it to the common approach using T1w MPRAGE, both at 3T. We included data from 32 patients with focal epilepsy (5 MRI-positive, 27 MRI-negative with lobar seizure onset hypotheses) and 94 healthy controls from two epilepsy centres. Surface-based morphological measures and intensities were extracted and evaluated in univariate GLM analyses as well as multivariate unsupervised 'novelty detection' machine learning procedures. The resulting prediction maps were analyzed over a range of possible thresholds using alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic (AFROC) methodology with respect to the concordance with predefined lesion labels or hypotheses on epileptogenic zone location. We found that MP2RAGE performs at least comparable to MPRAGE and that especially analysis of MP2RAGE image intensities may provide additional diagnostic information. Secondly, we demonstrate that unsupervised novelty-detection machine learning approaches may be useful for the detection of epileptogenic lesions (maximum AFROC AUC 0.58) when there is only a limited lesional training set available. Third, we propose a statistical method of assessing lesion localization performance in MRI-negative patients with lobar hypotheses of the epileptogenic zone based on simulation of a random guessing process as null hypothesis. Based on our findings, it appears worthwhile to study similar surface-based morphometry approaches in ultra-high field MRI (≥ 7 T).
