Outstanding advances in imaging have elevated the significance of MRI for diagnostic, remedy and administration of epilepsy. Neuroimaging of sufferers with epilepsy not easily offers with the expertise and interpretation of pictures but additionally with problems with mind metabolism, energetics, cognition and mind disorder. the 1st variation of Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy got here into scientific perform in 1995 with a innovative proposal; that's, MR is as very important as EEG within the medical administration of sufferers with epilepsy. the second one variation of Magnetic Resonance in Epilepsy, the single accomplished textual content within the box of epilepsy neuroimaging, reports primary recommendations and new advances in MR know-how, automated research, MR spectroscopy, DWI and different neuroimaging ideas corresponding to puppy, SPECT and MEG program to the learn of sufferers with epileptic problems. *Provides an important replace of contemporary advances in imaging techniques*Timely booklet as topic of neuroimaging is a truly "hot" quarter in either scientific epilepsy and easy neuroscience research*Editors are well-respected during this box
