Description

Among the patients who received a PET-F.D.G. for drug resistant temporal epilepsy, the quantification of abnormalities by the B.M. method (B.M.: box matching method) seems to provide a gain in terms of specificity, but perhaps with less sensitivity. Studies are currently underway to optimize the use of this new method. (N.C.)
