DWI, Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

Diffusion-weighted MRI allows for the visualization of microstructural (very small) changes in brain tissue. This increases the chances of identifying subtle abnormalities that may explain epilepsy seizures.

The technique uses magnetic resonance (MR) to observe the thermodynamic movement of water molecules. This form of imaging can also be part of the preparatory process for epilepsy surgery.
