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...

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...

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Epilepsy diagnosis and treatment have been significantly advanced by neuroimaging techniques.
    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the primary modality for identifying epilepsy-related lesions.
    • Understanding imaging findings is critical for effective patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the role of neuroimaging in managing new-onset seizures and epilepsy.
    • To highlight the importance of MRI and other imaging modalities in epilepsy evaluation.
    • To discuss common epilepsy causes and their imaging characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Focus on MRI as the predominant neuroimaging technique.
    • Review of other imaging modalities used in epilepsy surgery evaluations.
    • Discussion of the Harmonized Neuroimaging of Epilepsy Structural Sequences (HARNESS) MRI protocol.

    Main Results:

    • MRI has transformed the diagnostic capabilities for many epilepsy forms.
    • Specific MRI sequences, such as thin-cut, no-gap protocols, are essential for detecting small epileptogenic lesions.
    • Integrating clinical information with imaging studies improves lesion identification.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing MRI protocols, including HARNESS, is vital for maximizing diagnostic accuracy in epilepsy.
    • Comprehensive neuroimaging, combined with clinical data, aids in precise epilepsy diagnosis and treatment planning.
    • Advanced imaging tools improve the care of individuals with epilepsy.
