What is a MRI BRAIN(SEIZURE/EPLIPSY)-CONTRAST?

MRI Brain (Seizure/Epilepsy) – Contrast is a specialized epilepsy-protocol MRI examination that provides detailed contrast-enhanced imaging of the brain to identify structural abnormalities associated with seizures and epilepsy, supporting accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and selected pre-surgical evaluation.

FAQs

Is this examination different from a routine brain MRI?

Yes. An epilepsy MRI uses specialized high-resolution imaging sequences focused on subtle abnormalities that may be associated with seizures. Contrast may provide additional tissue characterization when clinically indicated.

Do I need any preparation before the examination?

Preparation depends on the centre's protocol. Inform the MRI team about kidney disease, previous contrast reactions, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, metallic implants, pacemakers, seizures that may affect positioning, and other implanted medical devices.

Can this MRI be useful before epilepsy surgery?

Yes. A specialized epilepsy MRI can help identify a possible structural seizure focus and provide important anatomical information for selected patients undergoing pre-surgical epilepsy evaluation.

Will I need other tests after the MRI?

Depending on the findings and clinical history, your doctor may recommend EEG, video EEG, hippocampal volumetry, PET, SPECT, neuropsychological assessment, additional MRI, or consultation with a neurologist or epilepsy specialist.

Who may need MRI Brain (Seizure/Epilepsy) – Contrast?

This examination may be recommended for patients with recurrent or unexplained seizures, suspected epilepsy, new-onset seizures, abnormal neurological findings, or suspected structural abnormalities of the brain.
