FDG‐PET Images Quantified by Probabilistic Atlas of Brain and Surgical Prognosis of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Summary:  Purpose: This study evaluated the relation between hypometabolism, diagnosed by fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET), and the surgical outcome of a large and homogeneous series of cases of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE), by using a probabilistic atlas of the human brain (statistical probabilistic anatomical maps: SPAM).
