title: Magnetic resonance imaging in epilepsy.
abstract: With a major role in revealing epileptogenic lesions, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has also been very helpful in surgical planning and postoperative follow-up of drug-resistant focal epilepsies. In this article, in addition to discussing the most common epileptogenic lesions, advanced quantitative and functional MRI techniques in detecting abnormalities and revealing hemodynamic and microstructural changes are emphasized.
