Introduction Epilepsy is a serious hazard to human health. Minimally invasive surgery is an extremely effective treatment to refractory epilepsy currently if the location of epileptic foci is given. However, it is challenging to locate the epileptic foci since a multitude of patients are MRI-negative. It is well known that DKI (diffusion kurtosis imaging) can analyze the pathological changes of local tissues and other regions of epileptic foci at the molecular level. In this article, we propose a new localization way for epileptic foci based on machine-learning method with kurtosis tensor in DKI. Methods We recruited 59 children with hippocampus epilepsy and 70 age- and sex-matched normal controls; their T1-weighted images and DKI were collected simultaneously. Then, the hippocampus in DKI is segmented based on a mask as a local brain region, and DKE is utilized to estimate the kurtosis tensor of each subject's hippocampus. Finally, the kurtosis tensor is fed into SVM (support vector machine) to identify epilepsy. Results The classifier produced 95.24% accuracy for patient versus normal controls, which is higher than that obtained with FA (fractional anisotropy) and MK (mean kurtosis). Experimental results show that the kurtosis tensor is a kind of remarkable feature to identify epilepsy, which indicates that DKI images can act as an important biomarker for epilepsy from the view of clinical diagnosis. Conclusion Although the classification task for epileptic patients and normal controls discussed in this article did not directly achieve the location of epileptic foci and only identified epilepsy on certain brain region, the epileptic foci can be located with the results of identifying results on other brain regions.
