MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) correct answers >> -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
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) correct answers >> -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
GRADED A+
, -The test evaluates glucose metabolism in the brain using the tracer
(usually FDG)
CT (Computerized Tomography) correct answers >> -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
Angiogram correct answers >> -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
Wada correct answers >> -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
SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography) correct
answers >> -A radioactive substance (tracer) to evaluate blood flow in
the brain
-An "ictal" SPECT can be done right after a seizure to localize seizure
activity
