Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the use of morphometric MRI analysis to assess structural changes in the brain that are relevant for diagnosing epilepsy, especially in cases where traditional MRIs do not show clear abnormalities.
- - Researchers reviewed 36 publications on MRI morphometry in epilepsy from 2017 to 2022 and found that this technique can measure various brain structures, which aids in identifying the epileptogenic zone.
- - The findings suggest that MR morphometry is particularly useful in cases of MR-negative epilepsy, improving preoperative diagnosis efficiency and potentially lowering costs for patients.
The aim of the work was to clarify the gender, age and variable differences in the structure of brain structures in healthy volunteers in connection with the task of distinguishing between physiological aging and pathological processes of the brain. The study methods included performing structural MRI of the brain in 131 conditionally healthy volunteers aged 20 to 70 years (72 of them were women and 59 men). Using the method of MR voxel-based morphometry, the total volume of the brain as a whole, as well as its segmented parts, was measured, followed by a comparison of the data obtained in age subgroups and between the sexes.
