Magnetic source imaging and ictal SPECT in MRI‐negative neocortical epilepsies: Additional value and comparison with intracranial EEG

Purpose:  To investigate the utility of magnetic source imaging (MSI) and ictal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), each compared with intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) (ICEEG), to localize the epileptogenic zone (EZ) and predict epilepsy surgery outcome in patients with nonlesional neocortical focal epilepsy.
