Surgical targeting of lateralized <sup>18</sup>F‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography hypometabolism relates to long‐term epilepsy surgery outcomes
This study highlights the benefit of quantifying FDG-PET to guide epilepsy surgery. The presented quantitative FDG-PET method could be used prospectively in the clinic to aid in surgical guidance and patient counseling.
