Neuroimaging in the evaluation of epilepsy.

Neuroimaging has provided extraordinary insight into the pathologic substrate of epilepsy. The excellent spatial resolution and soft tissue contrast of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows identification of a substantial number of pathologies including hippocampal sclerosis, malformations of cortical development, low grade tumors, and vascular abnormalities, among others. Complementary imagi...

Neuroimaging in Epilepsy

This review covers the current approach to neuroimaging in epilepsy. Some conceptual considerations for the interpretation of neuroimaging findings are also discussed. An algorithm for neuroimaging in the presurgical evaluation of epilepsy patients is presented, and recommendations are given for specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols. The typical findings on MRI, including function...

Neuroimaging in epilepsy

Epilepsy is the most common neurological disease worldwide and is second only to stroke in causing neurological morbidity. Neuroimaging plays a very important role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with epilepsy. This review article highlights the specific role of various imaging modalities in patients with epilepsy, and their practical applications in the management of epileptic patie...
