“…54 Three studies used EEG as the reference standard. This was ictal in one study, 112 ictal in some patients and interictal in others 54 and in one study it was unclear whether patients underwent only interictal EEG or whether they also received ictal EEG. 34 The fourth study used site of surgery as the reference standard.…”

“…34,38,54,112 Three evaluated combinations of different tests: one a combination of MRI, CT and SPECT for the localisation of the epileptic focus, 54 the second a combination of MRS and MRI for the lateralisation of the epileptic focus in patients with TLE 34 and the third a combination of MRI and CT in the localisation of the epileptic focus in children with a recent history of infantile spasms. 38 The final study evaluated NIRS in the lateralisation of the epileptic focus.…”

“…38 The final study evaluated NIRS in the lateralisation of the epileptic focus. 112 Only the study evaluating the combination of MRI and CT looked at the association of the imaging tests evaluated with outcome following surgery. Only one study included an appropriate patient spectrum.…”

“…The proportion of correctly localised scans ranged from 25 to 100%, with all but five of the 22 studies reporting proportions of 70% or more. 52,71,73,81,112 These five studies all included patients with both temporal and non-temporal lobe epilepsy. There were no other apparent differences between this subset of studies and studies which reported higher proportions of correctly localised scans with regard to tracers, subgroups, study quality, year of publication or reference standard.…”

HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTAA systematic review of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of neuroimaging assessments used to visualise the seizure focus in people with refractory epilepsy being considered for surgery NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The H...
