Related Diagnostic Procedures
-Angiogram
-WADA
-SPECT
-Uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and
tissues within your body
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
-Cross sectional MRI images are used, but it can also be used to produce 3-D
images
-Uses a radioactive drug (aka tracer) to show the functional activity of tissues
and organs
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) -PET is commonly used in seizure patients to localize the part of the brain that is
causing the seizure activity
-The test evaluates glucose metabolism in the brain using the tracer (usually FDG)
-Combines series of x-ray images taken from different angles and then creates cross-
CT (Computerized Tomography) sectional images that look at bones, blood vessels and soft tissues.
-Faster than an MRI
-Minimally invasive test that uses x-rays and contrasts to visualize vessels in the brain
Angiogram -Can show aneurysm, AVM, blood clot, stroke
-Used with Wada test
-Also known as an intracarotid sodium amobarbital study
-Looks at language and memory on one side of the brain at a time so that if the side
Wada
that controls language or has better memory, the surgeon may consider further
testing prior to epilepsy surgery
SPECT (Single Photon Emission -A radioactive substance (tracer) to evaluate blood flow in the brain
Computerized Tomography) -An "ictal" SPECT can be done right after a seizure to localize seizure activity
