Multimodality Image Post-processing in Detection of Extratemporal MRI-Negative Cortical Dysplasia.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To determine the diagnostic value of individual image post-processing techniques in a series of patients who underwent extratemporal operations for histologically proven, MRI-negative focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). Methods: The morphometric analysis program (MAP), PET/MRI co-registration and statistical parametric mapping (SPM) analysis of PET (SPM-PET) techniques were analyzed in 33 consecutive patients. The epileptogenic zone (EZ) assumed by MAP, PET/MRI, and SPM-PET was compared with the location of the FCD lesions determined by stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) and histopathological study. The detection rate of each modality was statistically compared. Results: Three lesions were simultaneously detected by the three post-processing methods, while two le
