Brain Imaging01:14

Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview01:24

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Background:

  • Epilepsy impacts 30,000 people yearly in the UK.
  • 20-30% of epilepsy cases are resistant to antiepileptic drugs.
  • Identifying structural abnormalities is key for surgical intervention in refractory epilepsy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review various imaging modalities for epilepsy diagnosis.
  • To discuss imaging options for common causes of focal seizures.
  • To guide efficient diagnostic approaches for refractory epilepsy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established and advanced imaging techniques.
  • Discussion of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine.
  • Inclusion of specialized techniques like diffusion imaging, MR spectroscopy, perfusion imaging, and functional MRI.

Main Results:

  • Multiple imaging modalities exist for epilepsy investigation.
  • A targeted approach is necessary for efficient diagnosis.
  • Specific imaging options are available for common focal seizure causes.

Conclusions:

  • Advanced imaging is vital for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
  • Accurate diagnosis through appropriate imaging facilitates surgical planning.
  • This review provides a guide to selecting the most effective imaging modalities.
