    30%-50% of temporal lobe epilepsy patients are classified as MRI-negative, leading to diagnostic uncertainty and treatment delays.

  • 2

    A convolutional neural network achieved 85.9% accuracy in differentiating TLE from healthy controls, outperforming traditional methods.

  • 3

    MRI-negative patients were identified as TLE with 82.7% accuracy, suggesting AI can detect subtle brain atrophy patterns.

  • 4

    Saliency maps indicated that limbic structures were crucial for classification, confirming the significance of TLE-specific atrophy.

  • 5

    AI-aided diagnosis has the potential to redefine 'lesional' TLE and improve neuroimaging diagnosis significantly.
