abstract = "Imaging plays an increasingly important role in the preoperative evaluation, surgical guidance, and follow-up of patients with epilepsy, particularly with adoption of minimally invasive techniques in epilepsy surgery. These techniques offer increased precision, reduced surgical morbidity,
and comparable outcomes. For radiologists, it is important to be familiar with these emerging techniques to understand their expected imaging appearance and potential complications. This review covers the role of imaging within a multidisciplinary approach to minimally invasive epilepsy surgery.Learning
Objective: To identify the expected imaging appearance and potential complications of minimally invasive surgical techniques for epilepsy.",
