The detection and localization of sodium tissue abnormalities in patients with epilepsy may have potential to improve seizure localization, identify effective pharmacotherapy and/or provide prognostic information for individual patients. Here, we report initial results evaluating a newly developed coil for performing 23Na MRI at 3-T in three patients with epilepsy.
