1. General requirements: High resolution, high contrast, complete brain coverage, optimal and thin slicing 2. Imaging can be achieved with a 2D protocol: – T1, T2, FLAIR: Both coronal and axial planes, ≥3 mm – T2*/SWI; contrast in selected patients – At least for TLE: Angulation along/perpendicular to the hippocampal axis 3. Most recent recommendations (if available): 3D sequences with isotropic voxels 1×1×1 in T1 and FLAIR: – No need for operator-dependent angulation – Reformatting in any plane possible |
FLAIR, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; SWI, susceptibility-weighted imaging; TLE, temporal lobe epilepsy. |
