Related Diagnostic Procedures: -MRI -PET -CT -Angiogram -WADA -SPECT 7. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): -Uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body -Cross sectional MRI images are used, but it can also be used to produce 3-D images 8. PET (Positron Emission Tomography): -Uses a radioactive drug (aka tracer) to show the functional activity of tissues and organs -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) 9. CT (Computerized Tomography): -Combines series of x-ray images taken from different angles and then creates cross-sectional images that look at bones, blood vessels and soft tissues. -Faster than an MRI 10. Angiogram: -Minimally invasive test that uses x-rays and contrasts to visualize vessels in the brain -Can show aneurysm, AVM, blood clot, stroke -Used with Wada test 11. Wada: -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 that controls language or has better memory, the surgeon may consider further testing prior to epilepsy surgery 12.
