IR sequences developed over the years have proved their crucial role in advancing methods for identifying epileptogenic areas, ultimately improving surgical outcomes and fostering the development of innovative techniques. However, scientific evidence comparing the effectiveness of different IR sequences remains fragmented, lacking a systematic evaluation of the available diagnostic tools.

Moreover, research has demonstrated that high magnetic fields provide significant advantages over lower-field imaging in epilepsy studies, with ultra-high field MRI expected to play an increasingly pivotal role in the future. As ongoing research continues to explore novel sequences and their potential to enhance the detection of epileptic lesions, comparative studies will be essential to determine the superiority of specific IR sequences over others.

This study incorporates a wide range of articles to analyze and compare the various IR sequences used in epilepsy protocols. However, there may be some potential limitations. 

Despite an extensive literature review, some relevant studies may not have been included. Additionally, while a substantial amount of information—particularly on the latest IR sequences—has been gathered, a more in-depth analysis is necessary for a comprehensive comparison of different approaches.

Future research should focus on conducting more robust and complete comparative studies of imaging modalities, taking into account both time efficiency and specific technical characteristics. Furthermore, advancements in neuroimaging techniques may offer valuable insights for epilepsy research, ultimately enhancing clinical practice and patient care [12].
