Fusion of FDG and FMZ PET Reduces False-Positives in Predicting Epileptogenic Zone [RESEARCH]

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Epilepsy, a globally prevalent neurologic disorder, necessitates precise identification of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) for effective surgical management. While the individual utilities of FDG-PET and flumazenil (FMZ)-PET have been demonstrated, their combined efficacy in localizing the epileptogenic zone remains underexplored. We aim to improve the noninvasive prediction of EZ in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) by combining FDG-PET and FMZ-PET with statistical feature extrac…
