Synopsis

Conventional MRI is difficult to discover the subtle changes caused by epilepsy. Virtual magnetic resonance elastography (vMRE) is based on diffusion MRI, which is sensitive for variety of physiologic and pathologic conditions. This study use vMRE to evaluated left Rolandic epilepsy. We found that left precentral gyrus, left postcentral gryus and left superior temporal gyrus is more stiffer than controls. The longer the seizure duration the stiffer of the brain tissues. vMRE has the potential to noninvasive evaluate epilepsy.
