The lead author of a new consensus statement on deep gray matter injury shares potential implications for the characterization, monitoring and treatment of MS.
Going Beyond Visual MRI Interpretation in Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Candidates
This case study of an 11-year-old illustrates the pivotal role advanced imaging techniques can play in presurgical evaluation to broaden the pool of candidates for curative epilepsy surgery.
Negative 3T MRI in an Epilepsy Patient? Here’s What 7T Can Bring to the Table
Visual and postprocessing analyses with 7T MRI have the potential to yield substantial additional findings relevant to a patient’s epilepsy — and thereby increase candidates for curative surgery.
Advanced MRI Complements Intracranial EEG for Surgical Treatment of a Youth with Epilepsy
An 18-year-old with refractory “nonlesional” epilepsy undergoes 7T MRI and postprocessing to render his lesion more detectable. See how it impacts his evaluation, management and seizure profile.

Case Study: A Teen with Severe, Refractory Epilepsy and Normal MRI
This remarkable case illustrates the potential of invasive SEEG evaluation to uncover evidence of a lesion not detectable on MRI — and the potential utility of laser ablation even in “nonlesional” tissue.
Case Study: A Man with Multiple Daily Seizures and an ‘Almost Normal’ MRI
Invasive electrode evaluation should be undertaken only to determine a course of action for epilepsy surgery, not to fish for unexpected results or provide more evidence for an already clear decision. Here’s a great case example
Case Study: A Toddler with Seizures, Hypsarrhythmia and an Evolving MRI
In children with early focal brain lesions, nonlocalized EEG patterns such as hypsarrhythmia are not absolute contraindications to epilepsy surgery. Here’s a case in point.
Ultra-High-Field MRI: A Snapshot of Its Growing Utility in Neuro Care
Few institutions use 7T MRI scanning in close relation with an active hospital. Here’s a glimpse of how Cleveland Clinic is leveraging its 7T scanner for clinical insights across a wide range of disorders.
Pairing MRI with Histopathology to Probe the Pathogenesis of ALS
A novel Cleveland Clinic research program is mapping brain tissue pathology from rapid autopsy onto brain MRIs acquired throughout patients’ disease course in the search for MRI biomarkers of ALS.
Cleveland Clinic Endocrinology Experts Share Practical Guidance
Two new books from staff within the Cleveland Clinic’s Endocrinology & Metabolism Institute provide important guidelines on understanding MRI and the role of dynamic testing in clinical endocrinology.
