Neuroimaging is crucial for the evaluation of patients considered for resective epilepsy surgery. Multimodal image fusion is a new tool to integrate all available localizing information on the individual epileptogenic network in a three-dimensional (3D) manner to plan invasive EEG recordings and delineate the epileptogenic zone from the eloquent cortex for the neurosurgical planning of a tailored resection. Here, we illustrate the multimodal fusion of images from different modalities in a patient with medically intractable non-lesional frontal lobe epilepsy who underwent partial frontal lobe resection, rendering him seizure-free.
神经影像学对于考虑接受切除性癫痫手术的患者评估至关重要。多模态图像融合是一种新工具，可将关于个体致痫网络的所有可用定位信息以三维（3D）方式整合起来，用于规划侵入性脑电图记录，并在明确的皮层中勾勒出致痫区，以进行量身定制的切除手术的神经外科规划。在此，我们展示了一名药物难治性非病变性额叶癫痫患者不同模态图像的多模态融合，该患者接受了部分额叶切除术，术后无癫痫发作。
