Abstract

Purpose: Cerebral perfusion, as measured by interictal SPECT and PET, is known to be decreased in the affected hippocampus of the patients with hippocampal sclerosis. The purpose of th study is to evaluate the capability of perfusion MR imaging to demonstrate ipsilate hypopefusion in patients with hippocampal sclerosis.
