Test Code

An MRI brain with epilepsy protocol is a specialized MRI examination designed to detect structural abnormalities in the brain that may be causing seizures. It's different from a standard brain MRI as it focuses on specific sequences and image resolutions to enhance the visibility of brain tissue changes related to epilepsy.

Benefits of the Epilepsy Protocol MRI:

Improved Accuracy:

The specialized sequences and resolutions enhance the ability to identify structural abnormalities associated with epilepsy, such as mesial temporal sclerosis and malformations of cortical development.

Guidance for Diagnosis and Treatment:

The MRI results provide valuable information for neurologists to diagnose the underlying cause of seizures and develop personalized treatment plans, including potential epilepsy surgery.

Earlier Identification of Lesions:

In some cases, the epilepsy protocol MRI can help identify lesions that might not be visible on a standard MRI, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and treatment.
