7T MRI detected new lesions in over a third of 3T MRI nonlesional patients, confirmed and better characterized a 3T suspected lesion in one third of patients, and helped exclude a 3T suspected lesion in the remainder. Our initial experience suggests that 7T MRI adds value to surgical planning by improving detection and characterization of suspected brain lesions in drug-resistant focal epilepsy patients.
