"Clinical usefulness of electromagnetic source imaging in epilepsy"

Abstract:

When you are impaired and disabled by numerous daily epileptic seizures in spite of treatment by antiepileptic drugs, surgical resection of the area in the brain causing seizures can be the next choice of treatment. In a new PhD project from Aarhus University, faculty of Health magnetoencephalography (MEG) and simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) are for the first time in Denmark incorporated in the Danish epilepsy surgery team's decision on where the area in the brain causing seizures is. The study speaks for it self: in 1/3 of the patients MEG provided accurate, non-redundant information that was clinically useful in the presurgical evaluation.
