High-resolution MRI. The imaging modality of choice. Extremely good for detecting [[hippocampal asymmetry]] of [[mesial temporal sclerosis]] (MTS), and neuronal developmental abnormalities (e.g. [[cortical dysplasia]]) that may produce complex partial seizures (CPS) ((Barkovich AJ, Rowley HA, Anderman F. MR in Partial Epilepsy: Value of High-Resolution Volumetric Techniques. AJNR. 1995; 16:339–343)).
