"MRI in Epilepsy" ed. by Horst Urbach

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. This is detailed guide to the use of MRI in epilepsy. Both radiologists and referring physicians will find this book to be an indispensable guide to the optimal use of MRI in epilepsy.

Clearly relates clinical information to imaging findings
Emphasis on high-resolution and functional MRI
Edited by an expert who has supervised MRI in one of the world’s largest epilepsy surgery centers for more than 10 years

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.
