Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of fundamental importance to the diagnosis
and treatment of epilepsy, particularly when surgery is being considered. Despite previous …

Brain imaging has a crucial role in the presurgical assessment of patients with epilepsy.
Structural imaging reveals most cerebral lesions underlying focal epilepsy. Advances in MRI …

Candidates for epilepsy surgery must undergo presurgical evaluation to establish whether
and how surgical treatment can stop seizures without causing neurological deficits. Various …

Neurosurgery is an underutilized treatment that can potentially cure drug‐refractory
epilepsy. Careful, multidisciplinary presurgical evaluation is vital for selecting patients and to …

One-third of persons with epilepsy have seizures despite appropriate medical therapy. Drug
resistant epilepsy (DRE) is associated with neurocognitive and psychological decline, poor …

Imaging is pivotal in the evaluation and management of patients with seizure disorders.
Elegant structural neuroimaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may assist in …

Abstract Objective Ultra‐high‐field 7‐Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers
increased signal‐to‐noise and contrast‐to‐noise ratios, which may improve visualization of …

Nearly one-third of patients with focal epilepsy experience disabling seizures that are
refractory to pharmacotherapy. Drug-resistant focal epilepsy is, however, potentially curable …

Focal cortical dysplasias type II (FCD II) are highly epileptogenic lesions frequently causing
pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Detection of these lesions on MRI is still challenging as FCDs …

Medically refractory focal epilepsy is potentially curable by surgery. This Review considers
the application of recent advances in structural and functional brain imaging to increase the …
