Glucose metabolic profile by visual assessment combined with statistical parametric mapping analysis in pediatric patients with epilepsy
The Journal of Nuclear Medicine Aug 21, 2017
Zhu Y, et al. – The glucose metabolic profile applying 18F–FDG PET/CT imaging in patients with epilepsy was investigated. The results of this study displayed that 18F–FDG PET imaging with visual assessment combined with statistical parametric mapping (SPM) analysis could serve cerebral glucose metabolic profiles in nonsurgical epilepsy patients. |AI| might be applied for assessment of clinical severity and progress in these patients. Moreover, patients with a prolonged period of seizure freedom may have more subtle (or no) metabolic abnormalities on PET. In addition, the clinical value of PET might be improved by timing the scan closer to clinical seizures.
