Welcome to my KZfaq video providing a detailed walkthrough of MRI epilepsy protocol www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... , aimed at both veterinary professionals and pet owners seeking a deeper understanding of diagnostic imaging for epilepsy in pets. In this video, I will take you through the key steps involved in performing an MRI scan specifically tailored to assess the brain of a pet with epilepsy (for both low and high field MRI) including explanation of the specific MRI sequences used in epilepsy protocol, including T1-weighted, T2-weighted, FLAIR, and gradient echo with example of relevant findings, such as cortical dysplasia, and other structural abnormalities associated with epilepsy. Step-by-step demonstration of how to obtain the “hippocampal orientated” images in the MRI epilepsy protocol. Make your MR imaging more than just ruling out a brain tumour.
00:00 Introduction
00:45 Aims of MRI
02:49 MRI of epilepsy - what lesions are you looking for
05:13 Epilepsy MRI protocol for low and high field MRI
13:15 How to do sequences orientated to the hippocampus - its easy!
14:40 why should you do a epilepsy protocol? (aka " that's a hard no!" "it's set in stone!"- "in veterinary medicine we don't adjust a MRI protocol to take account of the disease - we do the images perpendicular to the hard palate because that is the way it has always been done and this is the way we radiologists like it")
