Abstract:
Typical sequences in MR imaging of epilepsy been described, in addition to a brief overview of imaging abnormalities that may be seen. The interested reader is referred to a recent publication, Neuroimaging Clinics of North America on Epilepsy, which goes into considerable detail on imaging, including MRI and other modalities.
Insights
