This study applied decision tree analysis to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and cost-
effectiveness of clinical algorithms that incorporate 18F-FDG PET. Methods: A cohort of 176 …

18F-FDG PET is an accurate and reliable technique for localizing medically refractory
temporal lobe epilepsy, but widespread use has been hindered by limited reimbursement in …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Biochemical studies of seizures in patients and laboratory
animals have monitored postictal perturbations in cerebral metabolism with either invasive …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the radiological investigation of choice for the
evaluation of patients with epilepsy. It is able to detect and characterize the structural origin …

Objective: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that occurs due to irregular neuronal
activity in the central nervous system. The main job of a radiologist is to investigate the …

Epilepsy is caused by abnormal excessive electric discharges from the neurons in the brain.
Epileptic seizures are nonspecific responses of the brain to many types of insults. The …

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been in use in biochemistry labs for
more than 50 yr. In its earlier years, it was used primarily for in vitro chemical analysis of …

Cortical function in normal and pathologic neurologic states is largely influenced by the
activity of the neurovascular unit. Hybrid technologies that combine positron emission …

Recent studies show that up to 70% of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) have a
hippocampal deficit known as temporal mesial sclerosis (TME) characterized by neuron loss …
