Abstract
Neuroimaging in epilepsy now incudes magnetic resonance imaging, posit ron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission tomography (SPEC T), magnetoencephalography, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Recen t advances in neuroimaging include improved rates of detection of lesi ons on structural imaging using quantitative methods, identification o f metabolic patterns on functional imaging with PET, and recognition o f the value of ictal SPECT in seizure localization.
