PET und SPECT bei Epilepsie

Zusammenfassung

Molekulare Bildgebung mit SPECT und PET ermöglicht sowohl in der klinischen Routine als auch in der neurologischen Forschung eine metabolische Charakterisierung der Epilepsie, welche zum einem zu einer Verbesserung der diagnostischen Sicherheit und zum anderen zu einem besseren Verständnis über pathophysiologische und pathobiochemische Veränderungen führt. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit soll der Stellenwert von SPECT und PET mit verschiedenen Radiopharmaka näher gebracht werden.

Abstract

Molecular imaging with SPECT and PET in epilepsy is considered to increase diagnostic accuracy for clinical routine and to enable a metabolic characterization of this disease by the visualizing pathophysiological and pathobiochemical changes. In this review the role of SPECT and PET with different radiotracers is discussed.
