DOI: 10.1002/epi4.12694
Abstract: Ictal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can be used as an advanced diagnostic modality to detect the seizure onset zone in the presurgical evaluation of people with epilepsy. In addition to visual assessment (VSA)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/epi4.12986
Abstract: The main goal of presurgical evaluation in drug‐resistant focal epilepsy is to identify a seizure onset zone (SOZ). Of the noninvasive, yet resource‐intensive tests available, ictal single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) aids SOZ localization by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.eplepsyres.2020.106445
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an ancillary noninvasive test commonly used to identify the epileptogenic zone. However, its proper utilization may be limited depending on the resources available at each center. This study… read more here.

Brain perfusion SPECT in the presurgical evaluation of epilepsy: is additional ictal SPECT required in case of high-confidence lateralization of the seizure onset zone by interictal SPECT and vice versa?

DOI: 10.1186/s13550-024-01149-8
Abstract: Ictal brain perfusion SPECT provides higher sensitivity for the identification of the epileptic seizure onset zone (SOZ) than interictal SPECT. However, ictal SPECT is demanding due to the unpredictable waiting period for the next seizure… read more here.
