Drug-resistant focal epilepsy is potentially curable by surgery, but conventional MRI based on visual evaluation is sometimes unable to reveal a lesion for resection. In this Review, Bernasconi and colleagues consider recent advances in brain imaging for the detection of lesions in cases of so-called cryptogenic epilepsy, covering developments in MRI morphometry, computational modeling and diffusion tensor imaging.
