Here we outline a preliminary analysis using a novel method leveraging ultra-high field neuroimaging to measure detectable differences in vasculature within the temporal lobe that may not be detectable at lower field strengths. We provide a tool for detection and quantification of vessels, perivascular spaces, and volumetric changes within the temporal lobe which may be relevant to uncover possible underlying neuroinflammatory processes in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) patients. In our analysis, we found a significant association between volumetric measures of the temporal lobe and vascular and perivascular markers, in patients with lateralized MTLE which may underlie epileptogenic processes.
