Brain single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was performed in 16 patients with focal epilepsy, as well as EEG, using 99m Tc-HM-PAO SPECT and a rotating gamma camera system. Pathological Tc-HM-PAO SPECT findings were registered in 75%. CT was positive in 25%. MRI was positive in 76%. The results of Tc-HM-PAO SPECT findings were compared with those of CT and MRI. 61% of the MRI findings correlated with the pathological SPECT findings with respect to the side of the hemisphere, and in 75% of the patients the focal EEG abnormality and the pathological Tc-HM-PAO-SPECT findings were localized in the same hemisphere.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008279	Magnetic Resonance Imaging	Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D004828	Epilepsies, Partial	Conditions characterized by recurrent paroxysmal neuronal discharges which arise from a focal region of the brain. Partial seizures are divided into simple and complex, depending on whether consciousness is unaltered (simple partial seizure) or disturbed (complex partial seizure). Both types may feature a wide variety of motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Partial seizures may be classified by associated clinical features or anatomic location of the seizure focus. A secondary generalized seizure refers to a partial seizure that spreads to involve the brain diffusely.
