Synopsis

Fibre tract-specific abnormalities have been identified in various neurological disorders and conditions using fixel-based analysis. However, for this technique to be useful in clinical practice, such abnormalities should be detectable in individual patients. In this work, we apply the fixel-based analysis framework to detect fibre density and cross-sectional changes in individual patients with varying epilepsy diagnoses. Abnormalities could be detected in individual epilepsy patients, both at the tract level, and at the fixel-level, with different patterns of tract-based abnormality observed across the different epilepsy syndromes. This information could be clinically valuable when examining individual patients.
