Neuroimaging has important applications in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with seizures and epilepsy. Having replaced computed tomography (CT) in many situations, MRI is the preferred imaging technique for patients with epilepsy. Advances in radionuclide-based techniques such as single-photon emission CT/positron emission tomography and electromagnetic source imaging with magnetoencephalography are providing new insights into the pathophysiology of epilepsy. In addition, techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy are beginning to impact treatment. In this review, I discuss how these techniques are used in clinical practice but more importantly, how imaging findings play an increasing role in neurotherapeutics.
神经影像学在癫痫发作和癫痫患者的诊断与治疗中具有重要应用。在许多情况下,磁共振成像(MRI)已取代计算机断层扫描(CT),成为癫痫患者首选的成像技术。基于放射性核素的技术进展,如单光子发射计算机断层扫描/正电子发射断层扫描以及利用脑磁图进行的电磁源成像,正在为癫痫的病理生理学提供新的见解。此外,磁共振波谱等技术也开始对治疗产生影响。在这篇综述中,我将讨论这些技术在临床实践中的应用方式,但更重要的是,成像结果在神经治疗中如何发挥越来越重要的作用。
