Inclusion Criteria: * Consecutive patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy fulfilling the following criteria - 1\. Diagnosis of focal epilepsy with a probable site identified, as defined by concordant results from any TWO of the following: * Clinical seminology compatible with focal epilepsy. * Electroencephalography pointing towards a specific site for focal epilepsy. * Positive ictal brain scintigraphy with SPECT-CT correlation. AND 2. Previous MRI (at least one study with protocol tailored for epilepsy) which did not reveal accountable focal lesion. AND 3. Able to consent for MRI examination (if patient under age of 18, consent for MRI will be obtained from guardian). Patients will be provided information leaflets to read on, and written consent before taking part in this study and MRI examination.
