Scientists at the University of Cambridge have created a novel method that improves 7T MRI scans ... to identify brain abnormalities that causes drug-resistant epilepsy. Patients at Cambridge's ...

Virtual reality technology is making brain surgery safer and helping to explain complicated procedures to patients.

in the brain responsible for the seizures. Then, they can work out exactly which areas to remove to cure the patient's epilepsy. If surgeons are able to see the lesions on MRI scans, this can ...

In order for surgeons to perform this operation, they need to be able to see the lesions (diseased tissue) in the brain responsible for the seizures. Then, they can work out exactly which areas to ...

A new MRI technique can help find hard-to-detect brain lesions that are causing epileptic seizures The technique rings the brain with multiple powerful transmitters, to enhance the image and ...
