Multi-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is wildly applied to identify tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) children in a clinic. In this work, deep convolutional neural network with multi-contrast MRI proposed diagnose pediatric TSC. Firstly, by combining T2W and FLAIR images, new synthesis modality named
