The Role of Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging and Dedicated MRI Protocols in the Diagnostic Evaluation of Patients with Drug-Resistant Epilepsy

Background: Near one-third of epileptic cases never achieve remission, despite optimal medication use. In these patients, various surgical procedures can be helpful. However, surgical success is directly associated with the ability to localize precisely the region of seizure onset. Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in detecting intracerebral lesions and localizing epileptogenic...
