We hypothesizes that the hemispheric asymmetry of FA
within the crura of fornix could be used to confirm the
laterality of mesial temporal epileptogenicity. The TLE
was associated with a reduced FA value in the fornix
crus ipsilateral to the seizure onset. Outperforming
anatomy-based lateralization methods, the proposed
diffusion based method hold promise for improving
decision-making for surgical resection and may reduce
the need for implantation of intracranial monitoring
electrodes.
