Microstructure imaging in patients undergoing evaluation for epilepsy surgery or low-grade glioma: Clinical utility of a novel diffusion MRI method.

This is a pilot study that investigates a newly developed MRI technique called MDT imaging. The study shows that MDT helps identify brain lesions in patients with epilepsy. Finding brain lesions can improve the success of epilepsy surgery and help patients become seizure-free. MDT imaging also helps visualize tumors in low-grade glioma patients, which could improve surgical planning. These early findings suggest that MDT could be an additional useful tool for imaging in epilepsy surgery and low-grade glioma patients, but more research is required to confirm its benefits.
