Abstract

Neuroimaging is crucial for the evaluation of patients considered for resective epilepsy surgery. Multimodal image fusion is a new tool to integrate all available localizing information on the individual epileptogenic network in a three-dimensional (3D) manner to plan invasive EEG recordings and delineate the epileptogenic zone from the eloquent cortex for the neurosurgical planning of a tailored resection. Here, we illustrate the multimodal fusion of images from different modalities in a patient with medically intractable non-lesional frontal lobe epilepsy who underwent partial frontal lobe resection, rendering him seizure-free.
