Pediatric magnetic source imaging

Neuroimaging Clin N Am. 1995 May;5(2):289-303.

Abstract

Magnetic source imaging has changed the perspective of managing pediatric patients with epilepsy since its introduction into clinical imaging in the pediatric population. Magnetic source imaging can be important in understanding pediatric functional neuroanatomy and for epileptic surgery in children with intractable seizures. The use and efficacy of magnetic source imaging for surgical planning and patient management is demonstrated by case reports presented in this article.
