Proton spectroscopic imaging shows abnormalities in glial and neuronal cell pools in frontal lobe epilepsy.

abstract：PURPOSE:Ictal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) may help localize the seizure-onset zone (SOZ) by detecting changes in regional cerebral blood flow induced by epileptic discharges. This imaging method also reveals hyperperfusions in areas of seizure propagation, including the hemisphere contralateral t...
