MR spectroscopy in the evaluation of epilepsy.
MR spectroscopy may be a helpful, reliable, noninvasive test with which to lateralize the seizure focus in patients with partial complex seizures. MR spectroscopy is complementary to other studies, especially MR imaging, and both may be performed in a single integrated examination and result in improved surgical management and outcome.
