MRI Brain with Epilepsy Protocol is a specialized Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan designed to detect structural abnormalities in the brain that may cause seizures. It provides high-resolution images of the brain, focusing on regions commonly involved in epilepsy, such as the hippocampus, temporal lobes, and cortex.

Hippocampal Volumetry is an advanced technique used to measure the volume of the hippocampus, a brain region critical for memory and often affected in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Shrinkage (atrophy) of the hippocampus is a key indicator of mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), a common cause of epilepsy.

    Test Preparation

    To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation guideline:

    • Fasting: Usually not required, but if contrast dye is used, fasting for 4-6 hours may be recommended.
    • Clothing & Accessories: Wear loose, comfortable clothing without metal (zippers, buttons, jewelry). A hospital gown may be provided.
    • Metal Objects: Remove glasses, dentures, piercings, hearing aids, or hairpins as MRI uses a strong magnet.
    • Medical Implants: Inform the radiologist if you have pacemakers, aneurysm clips, cochlear implants, or metallic implants, as MRI may not be safe.

    • Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, especially if contrast dye is needed.
    • Contrast Dye (if applicable): If contrast is used, inform the technician about any history of allergies, kidney disease, or asthma.
