Children with epilepsy and normal structural MRI pose a particular challenge in localization
of epileptic foci for surgical resection. Many of these patients have subtle structural lesions …

Epilepsy is one of the most common yet diverse neurologic disorders, affecting almost 1%–
2% of the population. Presently, radionuclide imaging such as PET and SPECT is not used …

Objective 18F‐Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) is widely
used in presurgical assessment in patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy (DRE) if …

The early developments of brain positron emission tomography (PET), including the
methodological advances that have driven progress, are outlined. The considerable past …

The major challenge in pre-surgical epileptic patient evaluation is the correct identification of
the seizure onset area, especially in MR-negative patients. In this study, we aimed to:(1) …

Objective We reviewed our experience of surgery for epileptic spasms (ES) with or without
history of infantile spasms. Methods Data were reviewed from 65 (33 male) patients with ES …

Purpose Epilepsy is one of the most disabling neurological disorders, which affects all age
groups and often results in severe consequences. Since misdiagnoses are common, many …

Purpose FDG PET is an established tool in presurgical epilepsy evaluation, but it is most
often used selectively in patients with discordant MRI and EEG results. Interpretation is …

Quantification approaches of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging provide user-
independent evaluation of pathophysiological processes in living brains, which have been …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to summarize the role of molecular imaging of the
brain by use of SPECT, FDG PET, and non-FDG PET radiotracers in epilepsy …
