New MRI scan could pinpoint epilepsy hotspots without surgery
NCT ID NCT07316972
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a special MRI technique called CEST can locate the brain area causing seizures in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. Researchers will scan 20 patients before surgery and compare the MRI results with standard methods. If it works, this could reduce the need for invasive brain recordings.
