2 Disclosure Name of Commercial Interest None Type of Financial Relationship NA American Epilepsy Society 2013 Annual Meeting

3 Learning Objectives Audience participants will be able to define stateof-the-art neuroimaging available to support epilepsy diagnosis and localization today. Audience participants will know that advanced imaging tools can be applied in their respective centers with existing and additional available resources. American Epilepsy Society 2013 Annual Meeting

35 ESI / MSI Sublobar Localization

36 MEG Prediction of ICEEG Yield and Surgical Outcome Subdural grids and strips Minassian et al. Ann Neurol 1999, 46: n=11 ICEEG cases, 10/11 concordant ICEEG ictal onset Mamelak et al. J Neurosurg 2002, 97: n=23 ICEEG cases, 17 were localized, 11/17 (70%) had greater than 6 or more densely clustered spikes. RamachandranNair et al. Epilepsia 2007, 48: n=22 ICEEG children cases (MRI negative). MEG single clusters agree with localized ICEEG and surgical outcome.

37 MEG Prediction of ICEEG Yield and Surgical Outcome

38 MEG Prediction of ICEEG Yield and Surgical Outcome Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) Jung et al. Brain 2013: 136; N=21 MRI negative cases using volumetric imaging of spike source generators, unequivocal spikes in 17 (81%) MEG spike volume extent and ictal SEEG localization SEEG Localized MEG Yes No Loc 8 0 Lateralized 3 4 Non-localized 0 2 Total 11 6 Fisher's Exact p < 0.05

39 Nonlesional Epilepsy Imaging Optimal visualization is critical take control of image processing and confirm with your own visual analysis MRI scrutinize appropriate sequences for subtle, but established epileptogenic abnormalities; refrain from temptation to over-read. PET ignore all interpretation but your own. SPECT perform either ISAS or STATISCOM. ESI/MSI use your EEG expertise to interpret.

40 Impact on Clinical Care and Practice Extracting the maximum amount information from imaging tests may increase the proportion of patients that can proceed to epilepsy surgery. Many techniques for acquiring and extracting more information from established tests are available and can be implemented at most centers. Diagnostic accuracy and reliability of new tests / information should be confirmed before given much weight in clinical decision-making.
