| Summary: | This review covers the current approach to neuroimaging in epilepsy. Some
conceptual considerations for the interpretation of neuroimaging findings
are also discussed. An algorithm for neuroimaging in the presurgical
evaluation of epilepsy patients is presented, and recommendations are
given for specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols. The typical
findings on MRI, including functional MRI, MR spectroscopy, and diffusion
tensor imaging, in the epilepsies are reviewed. The clinical use of functional
imaging methods such as positron-emission tomography and single photon
emission computed tomography is summarized, including current
developments of image post-processing. |
