Factors influencing the detection of treatable epileptogenic lesions on MRI. A randomized prospective study.

Epileptogenic lesions are often not recognized on MRI even by expert readers. Their detection can be improved by providing a focus hypothesis. These results stress the need for training in the MRI characteristics of epilepsy - specific pathology, and, most importantly, interdisciplinary communication between neurologists/epileptologists and (neuro)radiologists to improve detection of epileptogenic lesions.
