[18F]FDG PET/MRI and magnetoencephalography may improve presurgical localization of temporal lobe epilepsy

ConclusionsPresurgical evaluation by [18F]FDG PET/MRI/MEG could improve the identification of the EZ in TLE and may further guide surgical decision-making.Key Points•Lobar localization was defined in 94.5% of patients by the [18F]FDG PET/MRI/MEG.•The results of PET/MRI/MEG concordance with surgical resection were significantly higher than that of PET/MRI or MEG alone.•The results of PET/MRI/MEG cortical resection concordance with surgical outcome were shown to be better than that of PET/MRI or MEG alone.
