Abstract:
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) is the most common type of refractory focal epilepsy. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can provide qualitative and quantitative information on the microstructural arrangement of epileptic brain tissue. DTI is significant for insights to the pathophysiological mechanism of mTLE, and has potential for investigation of changes in structural connectivity of mTLE. The development and application of DTI in research of mTLE were reviewed in this article.
