The invention discloses an
epilepsy focus detection method based on
magnetic resonance imaging. The
epilepsy focus detection method comprises the steps that MRI data and < 18 > F
fluorescence deoxyglucose PET / CT scanning data of a patient before an operation are collected;
processing the MRI data and the PET data; carrying out
statistical analysis on the PET image, comparing a standard deviation with a normal
database, and generating a QPET image; carrying out QPET-MAP (Quality Point of Emission
Tomography Whether the
cut QPET-MAP + area is mainly in the FCD type I or not is determined through postoperative
pathological examination; and performing registration on the preoperative MRI and the postoperative MRI by using SPM12
software, and determining the excision integrity of the QPET-MAP + region. The QPET provides
functional imaging data, and metabolic changes related to
epilepsy are identified through quantitative analysis of PET scanning; the MAP provides
structural imaging data, identifying a potential FCD by automated analysis of the MRI data; the
detection rate of the FCD of the MRI negative epileptic is improved through the MAP. The detection sensitivity is improved, the specificity is also increased, and the epileptic focus is more accurately positioned. According to the invention, surgeons can be helped to more accurately position and
cut epileptic lesions, and the operation effect is improved.
