3T MRI EPILEPSY PROTOCOL

Description

3T MRI EPILEPSY PROTOCOL is a comprehensive neuroimaging procedure specifically tailored for patients with epilepsy. This advanced technique utilizes the powerful 3 Tesla MRI scanner to capture extremely detailed images of the brain structure and function. The protocol typically includes a series of specialized sequences designed to detect subtle abnormalities that may be causing seizures, such as small cortical malformations, hippocampal sclerosis, or vascular malformations. These high-resolution images allow neuroradiologists to identify potential epileptogenic foci with greater accuracy. The information gathered from this scan is crucial for epileptologists in determining the underlying cause of seizures, localizing seizure onset zones, and planning appropriate treatments, including medication adjustments or surgical interventions when necessary.
