Initial experience in hybrid PET-MRI for evaluation of refractory focal onset epilepsy

Abstract: Our initial hybrid PET-MRI experience increased diagnostic yields for detection of potential epileptic lesions. This may be due to the unique advantage of improved co-registration and simultaneous review of both structural and functional data.

“…After a relatively long period of development, PET/MR scanners have now reached the stage of commercial availability [Heiss, ], and are sold as whole‐body, dedicated brain and pre‐clinical (small animal) systems. The first immediate benefit of such systems is that they improve anatomical localization of PET anomalies in oncology [Bagade et al, ] and clinical studies in dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases[Barthel et al, ; Schutz et al, ] and epilepsy [Shin et al, ]. In the field of translational pharmacological research, the combination of simultaneous MRI and PET acquisitions allows for better interpretation of different resting‐state fMRI metrics [Aiello et al, ], which is of course critical to the interpretation of pharma‐fMRI.…”

“…ECD'nin yüksek kan akımında daha doğrusal ekstraksiyon ve daha uzun süre stabilizasyon zamanı (akuzisyon gerçekleştirmek için daha uzun süre sağlar) gibi üstün özellikleri olsa da HMPAO'nun sensitivitesi daha yüksektir (34). F-18 FDG PET özellikle ekstratemporal lob epilepsisinde iktal SPECT'e yakın sensitiviteye sahiptir (35,36). Ayrıca C-11 FMZ ile yapılan çalışmalar epileptik odak belirlemeye katkısı olabileceğini gösterse de MR'yi normal olan olgularda FMZ PET'in FDG'ye göre yanlış pozitifliklerinin daha fazla olduğu da bildirilmektedir (37,38).…”

“…PET/MR çalışmasının kortikal displazi hastalarında EEG'si uyumsuz %33 olguda ek bulgu verebileceğini göstermiştir (65). PET/MR ile yapılan 29 olguluk bir seride ise tanısal etkinliği arttırabileceği yönünde sonuçlar elde edilmekle birlikte daha geniş serilerde çalışmalar yapmak önerilmektedir (66).…”
