Abstract
We studied the relationship between single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and focal electroencephalographic (EEG) findings in 25 epileptic patients. Our results showed SPECT was more consistent than MRI on detection of localized abnormalities corresponding to epileptic EEG foci.
Özet
Elektroensefalografide fokal anormalliği olan 25 epileptik hastada, retrospektif olarak elektroensefalografi bulguları ile manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ve interiktal 99mTc-HMPAO single foton emisyon bilgisayarlı tomografi (SPECT) bulguları karşılaştırıldı. Sonuçlar, interiktal elektroensefalografi bulguları ile, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulgularından ziyade 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT’in bulgularının daha uyumlu olduğunu gösterdi.
