Limited utility of interictal apparent diffusion coefficient in the evaluation of hippocampal sclerosis

Objective – Quantitative measurement of diffusion has been studied as an independent parameter for the identification and characterization of abnormal hippocampi and temporal lobes in epileptic patients.
