Abstract :

Big data and digital medical technology develop rapidly. Analysis turning from â�?�?base on the pastâ�? to â�?�?for the coming futureâ�? is an important part of personalized medicine including personalized epilepsy diagnosis and treatment. Evidenceâ�?�?based and precise radiology plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of pre-surgical patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Electronic databases including Cochrane database, PubMed, national guideline clearinghouse provided the objective data for evidence reasoning. Image data processing (IDP) platform offered an integrated data analysis environment for efficient and collaborative biomedical image storage, analysis and visualization, which can improve workflow and enhance efficiency. A disease-specific and patient-oriented noninvasive MRI such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography and functional connectivity map helped us to better characterize TLE and ultimately assisted in providing a better diagnosis and more accurate invasive treatments of TLE. MRI enables us an individualized, personalized precision medical imaging, which is an important precondition for clinical 3D printing and precise epilepsy invasive treatments. In future, precision medical diagnosis and treatment would lead the new trend of heath management in patients with epilepsy.
