    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Epileptology

    Background:

    • Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in children necessitates neurosurgery for seizure control.
    • Accurate delineation of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.
    • Noninvasive biomarkers like spikes, detected via high-density EEG (HD-EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), approximate the EZ.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the sensitivity of HD-EEG and MEG in detecting epileptic spikes.
    • To assess the localization accuracy of electric source imaging (ESI), magnetic source imaging (MSI), and combined electromagnetic source imaging (EMSI).
    • To investigate the influence of source orientation on detection sensitivity and localization accuracy using realistic simulations.

    Main Methods:

    • Realistic simulations of dipolar sources with varying orientations were generated from intracranial EEG data of eight children with DRE.
    • HD-EEG and MEG data with simulated spikes were generated for each source.
    • Sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and localization accuracy of ESI, MSI, and EMSI were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • HD-EEG and MEG sensitivity and SNR varied with source orientation; EEG favored radial sources, MEG favored tangential sources.
    • MEG demonstrated higher localization accuracy for tangential sources (3.39±5.21 mm) compared to HD-EEG (9.02±13.09 mm).
    • EMSI achieved superior localization accuracy (2.02±3.95 mm) for sources at sulci walls compared to ESI and MSI.

    Conclusions:

    • HD-EEG and MEG provide complementary information for detecting epileptiform activity, especially when spikes are modality-specific.
    • Combined electromagnetic source imaging (EMSI) offers additive value over individual modalities in presurgical evaluation for DRE.
    • Findings enhance understanding of modality limitations and capabilities for noninvasive EZ characterization in pediatric DRE.
