Can a new MRI dye help predict epilepsy surgery success?
NCT ID NCT06483061
First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new MRI technique using ferumoxytol, an iron-based dye, to get clearer images of blood vessels in the hippocampus—a brain area key to memory and seizures. Researchers will compare images from 50 adults (healthy volunteers and epilepsy patients) to see if this method can better identify brain changes linked to successful epilepsy surgery. The goal is to improve how doctors choose candidates for surgery, which can stop seizures in some patients.
