Abstract

Neuroimaging is essential in the evaluation and management of patients with seizure disorders. Continued advancement in neuroimaging has enhanced the detection of structural and functional abnormalities associated with epileptogenicity, as well as acute and chronic consequences of seizure occurrences. This chapter reviews the advances in five major imaging modalities and their applications – computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The usefulness and limitations of each neuroimaging modality is discussed to emphasize their usefulness and role in different settings of seizure disorders. The coregistration and display of these multi-modal images have become indispensable for epilepsy surgery or neuromodulation therapy.
