Moreover, several genetically determined epilepsy syndromes exist, and by definition are not caused by underlying structural lesions. As a result of these circumstances, there is frequently a degree of uncertainty over whether an epileptogenic lesion is being overlooked or simply is not present. MRI can play an important role in resolving such uncertainty and localizing epileptogenic foci.   This book aims to provide the clinical and imaging information required in order to decide whether an MRI scan is appropriate and whether it is likely to be sufficient to detect a lesion. The first part of the book presents background information on epilepsy and explains how to perform an MRI examination. Detailed attention is paid to functional MRI and post-processing, and the examination of subcategories of patients is also discussed. The second part of the book then documents the MRI findings obtained in the full range of epileptogenic lesions with the aid of high-quality images. Throughout, emphasis is placed on guiding the reader in the correct interpretation of the imaging findings. Both radiologists and referring physicians will find this book to be an indispensable guide to the optimal use of MRI in epilepsy. 410 0$aMedical radiology (Series) 606 $aEpilepsy$xDiagnosis 606 $aNervous system$xMagnetic resonance imaging 615 0$aEpilepsy$xDiagnosis. 615 0$aNervous system$xMagnetic resonance imaging. 676 $a616.8 676 $a616.8530757 702 $aUrbach$b Horst 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437993703321 996 $aMRI in Epilepsy$92128315 997 $aUNINA
