Three-tesla iMRI-based epilepsy surgery may have the potential to improve patient outcomes. However, we conclude that iMRI, in its current state of use at our institute, does not improve outcomes for children undergoing epilepsy surgery. Given that its use appears safe, further research on this technology is warranted, particularly for the most challenging PDCs.
