Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| efficacy exploratory To examine the concordance rate in surgical epilepsy patients between the epileptogenic resion estimated by AMPA-PET (PVC image) and resection resion. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| safety efficacy exploratory (1)To examine the concordance rate in surgical epilepsy patients between the epileptogenic resion estimated by AMPA-PET (subtraction image) and resection resion. (2)To examine the concordance rate in surgical epilepsy patients showing no lesion with MRI between the epileptogenic resion estimated by AMPA-PET and resection resion. (3)To examine the concordance rate in surgical epilepsy patients between the epileptogenic resion estimated by AMPA-PET and resection resion and evaluate the data separately depending on ILAE classification at 24 weeks after surgery (4)To examine the concordance rate in surgical epilepsy patients showing ILAE classification 1 at 24 weeks after surgerybetween the epileptogenic resion estimated by radiologists using AMPA-PET images and resection resion. (5)To evaluate the safety of AMPA-PET in refractory epilepsy patients. | — |
