AI-based brain mapping tech to make epilepsy surgeries safer, effective

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A medical team at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Center has developed a new method to map the brain areas that cause seizures in epilepsy patients, thereby helping to make epilepsy surgery safer and more effective. The technique, called PASCOM (PET Asymmetry after Anatomical Symmetrization Coregistered to MRI), helps surgeons conduct precise surgeries.
