Single photon emission computed tomography in epilepsy
MD Devous, RF Leroy, RW Homan�- Seminars in nuclear medicine, 1990 - Elsevier
Functional brain imaging by either single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
or positron emission tomography (PET) is now a well-established technique in the diagnosis
and evaluation of the epilepsies. Perhaps only in stroke have these emerging technologies
proven of greater significance. Scalp, cortical, or depth electroencephalographic (EEG) data
previously have been the gold standards for the localization and subcharacterization of
epileptic activity in the human brain. Yet, they are fraught with difficult interpretations�…
