Imaging in Extratemporal Lobe Epilepsy
Call for Papers
Ten to thirty percent of epilepsy patients presenting to epilepsy centers are refractory to antiepileptic drugs. These patients are monitored to identify epileptic focus for possible epilepsy surgery. Although temporal lobe epilepsy with anterior temporal resection has a seizure freedom rate, another type of epilepsy, extratemporal lobe epilepsy is still challenging because of lower seizure freedom rate. Neuroimaging including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET), and others are essential parts of comprehensive epilepsy workup to identify epileptogenic zone.
To advance our knowledge in terms of more accurate diagnosis of extratemporal lobe epilepsy, this special issue thus invites investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles of both preclinical and clinical phases, new techniques, and new modalities that aid in identifying epileptogenic zone more precisely. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- New techniques development
- New targets development
- Identification of accuracy of current techniques
- Comparison of techniques
- Incorporating current techniques for better accuracy
