Imaging: Value of ultra-high field MRI in patients with suspected focal epilepsy and negative 3 T MRI (EpiUltraStudy)
An MRI scan provides a detailed image of the brain and is an essential tool for identifying the cause of epileptic seizures. Over the years, MRI technology has significantly improved. However, there are still individuals with epilepsy for whom no cause for the seizures is found on the MRI scan. This study investigates whether the latest generation of MRI scanners, which have a higher magnetic field strength: 7 instead of 3 Tesla—offers added value in diagnosing epilepsy. The inclusion phase of the study has been completed, and the data is currently being analyzed.
