Preoperative localization of seizure onset zones by magnetic source imaging, EEG-correlated functional MRI, and their combination.

CONCLUSIONS: Both MSI and EEG-fMRI can assist in the presurgical evaluation of patients with refractory epilepsy. The additive use of both tests confers a high identification rate in finding the SL. This combination can help in focusing implantation of icEEG electrodes targeting the SOZ.
