Early surgery helps improve language function in pediatric epilepsy. We investigate if an advanced DWI approach combining deep convolution network-based tract classification with DWI connectome can help early surgery by providing preoperative imaging markers which indicate a high likelihood of postoperative language improvement. Our approach revealed two nodes in preoperative DWI data, including left middle temporal gyrus and left angular gyrus, of which preoperative local efficiency values are not significantly different in patients having postoperative improvement of receptive language, compared with age-matched healthy controls, which can be as effective imaging markers for prediction of the postoperative language improvement.
