Subfield-specific Tractography of the Hippocampus in Epilepsy Patients at 7 Tesla

ConclusionsOur data suggest that the hippocampal subfields are connected in distinct ways in different types of epilepsy. These results may provide important information that could help inform seizure focus hypothesis and in the surgical treatment of MRI-negative patients. These observations suggest that high-resolution dMRI-based tractography of the hippocampal subfields can detect subtle abnormalities in otherwise normal-appearing MRI-negative patients.
