Integration of interictal EEG source localization in presurgical epilepsy evaluation - A single-center prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate cost in working hours for initial integration of interictal EEG source localization (ESL) into clinical practice of a tertiary epilepsy center, and to examine concordance of results obtained with three different ESL pipelines.

Methods

This prospective study covered the first year of using ESL in the Epilepsy-Center Berlin-Brandenburg. Patients aged ≥14 years with drug-resistant focal epilepsy referred for noninvasive presurgical evaluation were included. Interictal ESL was based on low-density EEG and individual head models. Source maxima were obtained from two freely available software packages and one commercial provider. One physician and computer scientist documented their working hours for setting up and processing ESL. Additionally, a survey wa
