Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers for prediction of clinical outcomes after a first seizure

After someone has their first seizure, we are unable to accurately predict who will go on to have further seizures (e.g., epilepsy) despite routine investigations. Cognitive and social problems often predate the first seizure. This project will develop a prediction tool using MRI brain scan markers, that can be used in the clinic after someone experiences their first seizure. This may provide patients with a more accurate diagnosis, individualise treatment and prevent cognitive deterioration.
