Localization of Interictal Spike Using EEG-fMRI and EEG Source Modeling

Abstract

It is very important to localize the epileptogenic zones in patients with partial epilepsy for successful surgical treatment. EEG Source imaging and EEG-fMRI have been recently used to localize epileptogenic zones as noninvasive new method. The aim of this study was to compare localization of epileptogenic zones using EEG-fMRI, dipole modeling and distributed modeling in patients with partial epilepsy.
