The utility of magnetic resonance spectroscopy for studying temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) has been limited by magnetic field inhomogeneities. Using a 7T head-only MR system, we have successfully measured a number of metabolites which are challenging to measure in the hippocampus, including glutamate and glutathione, and we have observed a trend suggesting a decrease in creatine between contralateral and ipsilateral hippocampi in patients with unilateral, 1.5T MRI normal TLE.
