Global MEG Research Studies/News

Sensitivity of magnetoencephalography as a diagnostic tool for epilepsy: a prospective study

 

 

The objective of this study was to determine the benefit of routine MEG with regard to diagnostic gain relative to frequently used examinations such as routine EEG, EEGsd, or 24-hour EEG, when available. We hypothesized that the sensitivity and specificity of routine MEG would be comparable to or higher than that for the above-mentioned EEG examinations. Furthermore, a diagnostic gain using routine MEG may be expected for epileptiform discharges that are not apparent on EEG. Click the link below for a full study.

Normal Variants in Magnetoencephalography

 

 

A MEG review on normal variants in MEG, although not occurring frequently, may appear similar to epileptic activity. Misinterpretation may lead to false diagnoses. In the context of presurgical evaluation, normal variants may lead to mislocalizations with severe impact on the viability and success of surgical therapy. Click the link below for a full article.
