Glutamate is widely thought to be central to
epileptogenesis. Here we apply a novel noninvasive
glutamate imaging technique, GluCEST (Glutamate Chemical
Exchange Saturation Transfer) MRI at 7T with an aim to
identify seizure foci with finer precision and higher
sensitivity than currently used imaging modalities in
subjects with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE).
