“…20 When a brain tumor is associated with epilepsy, the extent of resection has been related to a better seizure outcome. 5 Image guidance can be particularly valuable when epilepsy surgery involves a lesion that is relatively indistinct, or not at all visible macroscopically, as in cases of epilepsy in association with subtle cortical dysplasia, or in cases of focal epilepsy not associated with any anatomical lesion, such as EZs localized only by electrographic data, metabolic studies, or magnetic source localization. Imaging with PET, SPECT, or MEG can be fused with a structural MR image and used for naviga-tion 2,3,8,12,13 to enhance the accurate localization of the hypothesized EZ.…”
