Comparison of Ictal SPECT with 99mTc-HMPAO versus MRI for the Epileptic Seizure Onset Zone Detection in Saudi Patients

Comparison of Ictal SPECT with 99mTc-HMPAO versus MRI for the Epileptic Seizure Onset Zone Detection in Saudi Patients

Background: In the presurgical evaluation of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ictal brain perfusion SPECT with the chemical microspheres 99mTc-HMPAO are widely used for diagnosing the seizure onset zone (SOZ). For both modalities, there is theoretical contr...
