Voxel‐based and surface‐based cortical morphometric MRI applications for identifying the epileptogenic zone: A narrative review by Jacob Bunyamin, Benjamin Sinclair, Meng Law, Patrick Kwan, Terence J. O'Brien, Andrew Neal

“…Epileptogenicity‐based ground truth may be more relevant in the case of MRI‐negative cases; however, the sensitivity and concordance rate (voxel‐based technique 7.1%–66.7%, and surface‐based technique 62%) are limited by the reliance on scalp EEG and qualitative analysis of seizure‐onset pattern. The use of stereo‐EEG and quantitative EEG analysis may fill this gap to evaluate the correlation between cortical morphometry results and electrophysiological epileptogenic biomarkers of the epileptogenic zone and help improve the yield of structural post‐processing tools. …”
