[Abstract] Benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS) is one of the most common focal epilepsy in childhood. MRI is of great significance to disease research, which can analyze the structure and functional characteristics of brains. It contains three dimensions T1-weighted imaging, functional MRI, diffusion-tensor imaging, simultaneous electroencephalogram and functional MRI, multimodal MRI and so on. This study aims to review the radiological technology used to analyze the brain development and cognitive levels of patients, guide lesion localization in BECTS, identify effects of antiepileptic drugs and estimate the prognosis of patients. It provides a reference for exploring the pathogenesis of BECTS and guiding clinical management in the future.
