Abstrakt: The diagnostic yield of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) postprocessing using 7‑T data for patients with nonlesional epilepsy has been rarely evaluated, but has shown acceptable diagnostic outcomes. However, to date there have been no prospective clinical studies comparing MP2RAGE sequences in 3‑T and 7‑T MRI in parallel using the same protocol for morphometric analysis. We present a study protocol developed to address the hypothesis that application of 7‑T structural MRI increases the rate of detection of structural lesions with morphometric analysis when compared with parallel coherent study protocols in 3‑T MRI. The 7‑T MRI study protocol is designed to supply data showing the clinical practicability and proof of principle for increasing the detection rate of subtle epileptogenic lesions.
