Various PET studies, such as measurements of glucose, serotonin and oxygen metabolism,
cerebral blood flow and receptor bindings are availabe for epilepsy. 18 Fluoro-2 …

Among the therapeutic options of drug-resistant focal epilepsies, surgical treatment is the
most effective treatment, provided that the location of the epileptogenic area is identified …

Epilepsy surgery remains underutilized, in part because non-invasive methods of potential
seizure foci localization are inadequate. We used high-resolution, parametric quantification …

Epilepsy affects 0.5% to 1.0% of the population and can cause focal, partial, generalized,
and absence seizures in addition to several more unusual types. Seizure disorders often …

1. Epilepsy (1) Clinical significance Since glucose metabolism decreases in epileptic foci
during the interictal phase, FDG-PET can be used for diagnosis of the foci. The …

In the field of neurologic disorders, the most common clinical application of positron
emission tomography (PET) is in the diagnostic evaluation of patients who have epilepsy …

1674 Purpose: Fluorine-18 flurodeoxy glucose positron emission tomography/computed
tomography (FDG PET/CT) is one of the imaging modalities used to localize epileptic foci in …

Patients with refractory epilepsy are not only free of seizures after resecting epileptic foci, but
also experience significantly improved quality of life. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose …
