Abstract:
Epilepsy is a widespread neurological disease, which can be caused by any pathological process that may affect the structure and function of the brain.It encompasses a spectrum of pathologies rather than a singular entity.Early detection and diagnosis is the key to controlling the progression of epilepsy and improving the prognosis.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a clinically recognized method for the examination of epilepsy because of its non-ionizing radiation damage and excellent soft tissue resolution and spatial resolution.With the upgrading of MRI equipment and the open application of new imaging technologies, such as multimodal MRI that integrates multiple magnetic resonance sequences, its multi-parameter imaging and high spatial resolution have completely changed the ability to detect lesions, making significant progress in understanding epilepsy from the anatomical structure, molecular level, and biochemical metabolism.This article reviews the advances in the application of multimodal MRI technology in childhood epilepsy.
