For patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) that can't be controlled by medications, a minimally invasive laser procedure performed under MRI guidance provides a safe and effective ...

A new MRI technique developed at the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, England, could improve the detection of brain lesions responsible for focal epilepsy. The new method offers greater precision ...

3T MRI is better at detecting and characterizing structural brain abnormalities in patients with focal epilepsy than 1.5T MRI, leading to a better diagnosis and safer treatment of patients, according ...

A new technique has enabled ultra-powerful magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners to identify tiny differences in patients' brains that cause treatment-resistant epilepsy. In the first study to use ...

In patients with chronic epilepsy, MRI-based detection of an underlying brain lesion can offer the potential for surgical treatment, but a substantial proportion of patients have normal MRI scans. A ...

An AI tool developed by neuroscientists at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute is capable of spotting warning signs on ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have created a novel method that improves 7T MRI scans, enabling medical professionals to identify brain abnormalities that causes drug-resistant epilepsy.

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 number of ...

The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Friday 10 December 2010 An article examining the way in which brain scans may be used to help surgeons ...

Epilepsy still has no cure, and while many cases can be managed with anti-seizure medications, as many as 30% of cases are drug-resistant and therefore require more intensive treatment methods. One ...

Brain imaging and recordings of brain activity could help identify children at risk for epilepsy after febrile fits, say scientists. "Our goal has been to develop biomarkers that will tell us whether ...

There are just over 3 million Americans with epilepsy who experience seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. A smaller group of people also have seizures not caused by epilepsy – ...
