Summary

Five ictal EEG source imaging methods showed good agreement, but this did not guarantee accurate localization for epilepsy surgery. Further research is needed to overcome inverse solution limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging
  • Epileptology

Background:

  • Accurate localization of seizure onset is crucial for successful epilepsy surgery.
  • Ictal electroencephalography (EEG) source imaging aims to pinpoint the brain region generating seizures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the agreement among five distinct ictal EEG source imaging methods.
  • To assess the accuracy of these methods in presurgical evaluation for focal epilepsy.
  • To test the hypothesis that higher inter-method agreement correlates with greater localization accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • EEG data from 38 seizures in 22 epilepsy patients were analyzed.
  • Five source imaging techniques were employed: phase mapping, dipole fitting, CLARA, cortical-CLARA, and minimum norm.
  • Localization accuracy was benchmarked against the epilepsy surgery team's consensus and post-operative outcomes.

Main Results:

  • High agreement (all methods) was observed in 59% of patients; agreement among all but one method in an additional 27%.
  • No significant difference in accuracy was found between methods, though minimum norm showed a trend towards lower accuracy than phase mapping.
  • Ictal source imaging achieved an overall accuracy of 73% (86% in operated patients).

Conclusions:

  • Good agreement exists between various ictal EEG source imaging methods.
  • Inter-method agreement does not reliably predict accurate source localization due to inherent limitations of inverse solutions.
  • The findings highlight the challenges in precise seizure focus localization using current EEG source imaging techniques.
