AI Article Synopsis
- Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a test used to localize sources of epilepsy in patients being considered for surgery.
- The review highlights the need for a better understanding of clinical MEG concepts, as proficiency in this field requires both clinical and procedural knowledge.
- It focuses on explaining the single equivalent dipole (sECD) method and its importance, while also discussing regional topology and source dynamics to aid in interpreting MEG-EEG results.
Article Abstract
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a neurophysiologic test that offers a functional localization of epileptic sources in patients considered for epilepsy surgery. The understanding of clinical MEG concepts, and the interpretation of these clinical studies, are very involving processes that demand both clinical and procedural expertise. One of the major obstacles in acquiring necessary proficiency is the scarcity of fundamental clinical literature. To fill this knowledge gap, this review aims to explain the basic practical concepts of clinical MEG relevant to epilepsy with an emphasis on single equivalent dipole (sECD), which is one the most clinically validated and ubiquitously used source localization method, and illustrate and explain the regional topology and source dynamics relevant for clinical interpretation of MEG-EEG.
