Diagnopein MRI Brain + Epilepsy Protocol Centre in Karad

Importance of MRI Brain + Epilepsy Protocol

Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective epilepsy management. In many cases, traditional scans or CTs may fail to detect the underlying cause of recurrent seizures. MRI Brain + Epilepsy Protocol provides a non-invasive, radiation-free method to visualize detailed brain anatomy and abnormalities associated with epilepsy such as:

1. Hippocampal sclerosis

2. Cortical dysplasias

3. Low-grade tumors

4. Gliosis or scarring

5. Vascular malformations

By identifying these structural brain issues, neurologists can determine whether epilepsy has a surgical or medical treatment path. This scan aids both diagnosis and pre-surgical mapping, ensuring better treatment outcomes for patients.

Benefits of MRI Brain + Epilepsy Protocol

Choosing an MRI Brain with Epilepsy Protocol offers several key diagnostic and patient care benefits:

1. Enhanced detection of small brain lesions missed by standard MRIs

2. High-resolution imaging for accurate treatment planning

3. Helps differentiate between generalized and focal epilepsy

4. Supports surgical evaluations and post-treatment follow-ups

5. Safe for children and adults with no ionizing radiation involved

At Diagnopein, our radiologists follow international epilepsy imaging guidelines, ensuring every scan provides maximum diagnostic value.

How the Test is Done

The MRI Brain + Epilepsy Protocol follows a step-by-step process performed by skilled MRI technologists:

1. Preparation: Patients are asked to remove all metallic objects and change into a hospital gown.

2. Positioning: The patient lies down on the MRI table, with a special head coil placed for optimal brain imaging.

3. Imaging Sequences: Advanced imaging sequences such as FLAIR, T1, T2, 3D TFE, and coronal hippocampal views are used to capture detailed pictures of brain structures.

4. Duration: The entire scan typically takes about 30–45 minutes.

5. Post-Scan: Images are reviewed by an expert radiologist, and a detailed report is prepared for your neurologist.

The test is painless, though patients are required to stay still for clear images. Sedation can be provided if necessary, especially for children or anxious patients.

Key Parameters and Sequences

MRI Brain + Epilepsy Protocol uses specific parameters and sequences designed for precise neuroanatomical assessment. Commonly included parameters are:

1. T1-weighted and T2-weighted imaging

2. Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR)

3. 3D TFE (Turbo Field Echo) for hippocampal study

4. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)

5. Gradient echo or susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI)

6. Coronal oblique imaging for temporal lobe evaluation

These parameters improve contrast between grey and white matter, enhance spatial resolution, and help detect subtle malformations, scars, or lesions.
