MR scan showed no hippocampal sclerosis, or atrophy. FDG-PET scanning exhibited interictal hypometabolism of the epileptogenic temporal lobe in all three cases. None of the cases had fMRI or intracranial monitoring. There was no history of febrile convulsions or family history of epilepsy. Two ...
Researchers compared the FIRES patients with a pseudo-control group ofepilepsypatients with normal MRI and PET scan results. Using statistical parametric mapping, an objective approach to analyzingbrain activity, the study exposed that thebrain dysfunctionwas related to the epilepsy in the FIRES patients...
PET scans provide valuable information about the function of brain tissue in patients, to detect malignancy and to evaluate brain abnormalities in Alzheimer disease, stroke, schizophrenia, and epilepsy. Combined PET-CT scanners provide images that pinp...
Utility of MRI, PET, and ictal SPECT in presurgical evaluation of non-lesional pediatric epilepsy Children with epilepsy and normal structural MRI pose a particular challenge in localization of epileptic foci for surgical resection. Many of these patien... P Epilepsy,E Surgery,C Dysplasia,... ...

For example, this may be the case when patients use steroids, which influence the glucose metabolism of the brain [19]. A methodological issue in this study was the use of epilepsy patients as controls, as 18 F-FDG PET data of healthy children could not be obtained due to ethical ...
A PET scan can be a full body scan or imaging focused on one area of the body. It can help with the diagnosis of different conditions, such as: Different types of cancer Brain disorders, including dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, brain tumors, and epilepsy Heart conditions like co...
Why is Brain PET CT Scan Performed? To diagnoseAlzheimer?s disease To diagnose whether cancer has spread or not To diagnoseParkinson's disease To determine the stroke problem To diagnose seizure or epilepsy To evaluate the brain after trauma ...
With further validation, dFDG-PET may offer more patients the advantages of presurgical localization and possibly convert those who may be non-candidates into candidates for transformative epilepsy surgery. ![Figure][1] ![Figure][1] [1]: pending:yJournal of Nuclear MedicineBijoy KunduWilliam ...
