Abstract
<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> The purpose of this article is to summarize the role of molecular imaging of the brain by use of SPECT, FDG PET, and non-FDG PET radiotracers in epilepsy. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> Quantitative image analysis with PET and SPECT has increased the diagnostic utility of these modalities in localizing epileptogenic onset zones. A multi-modal platform approach integrating the functional imaging of PET and SPECT with the morphologic information from MRI in presurgical evaluation of epilepsy can greatly improve outcomes.
