Crucial Insights from Interictal 99mTc–ECD Brain Perfusion SPECT in Enhancing Pediatric Epilepsy Diagnosis and Management
99mTc-ECD brain perfusion SPECT is a valuable diagnostic tool in the comprehensive evaluation of pediatric DRE. It enhances lateralization and localization of epileptogenic zones, especially when conventional imaging is nondiagnostic. Interictal brain SPECT, is easily available, indispensable, and complementary in diagnosis. Combining it with clinical and electrophysiological evaluation can significantly improve clinical outcome and management of patients with DRE.
