چکیده

با توجه به رزولوشن زمانی خوب EEG و رزولوشن مکانی مناسب fMRI، ترکیب اطلاعات هم‌زمان آن‌ها می‌تواند باعث بهبود عمل‌کرد مکان‌یابی شود. در این مقاله سعی شده است تا با استفاده از اطلاعات این دو مدالیته در یک ثبت هم‌زمان، به مکان‌یابی کانون‌های صرعی پرداخته شود. از این رو، نخست از طریق شناسایی وقایع اینترایکتال و میانگین‌گیری، یک الگوی اسپایکر مستخرج از EEG خارج اسکنر ساخته شده و سپس از طریق اعمال همبستگی متقابل بین این الگو و سیگنال EEG درون اسکنر، یک سیستم خودکار به منظور استخراج اطلاعات زمانی لحظه‌ی وقوع حادثه طراحی شده است. پس از آن رگرسور به دست آمده بعد از کانوالو شدن با تابع پاسخ سیستم همودینامیک (HRF) از طریق مدل GLM به مکان‌یابی کانون‌های صرعی پرداخته است. این مطالعه روی 6 بیمار صرعی موضعی مقاوم به دارو که در آزمایشگاه ملی نقشه‌برداری مغز از آن‌ها ثبت داده صورت گرفته، انجام شده است. نتایج روش پیشنهادی با اطلاعات ارائه شده در EEG برای هر 6 بیمار هماهنگی داشته و از این میان برای 4 بیمار که کاندید جراحی مغز بودند، اطلاعاتی اضافه ارائه کرده است. نتایج به دست آمده حاکی از بهبود صحت و دقت مکان‌یابی نسبت به روش‌های پیشین می‌باشد.

چکیده [English]

Since electroencephalography (EEG) signal contains temporal information and fMRI carries spatial information, we can reasonably expect that a combination of the two contributes greatly to precise localization of   epileptic focuses.  With that in mind, we have first extracted spike patterns from outside of scanner EEG, through detecting and averaging the interictal epileptiform discharges (IED). Then, having implemented the correlation between the identified pattern and inside-scanner EEG, an automated system was developed to extract the temporal information when an epileptic seizure is triggered. We proceeded to convolve the obtained regressor with the hemodynamic response function (HRF) using the general linear model (GLM) for the purpose of localizing the epileptic focus.  This study was conducted on 6 medication-resistant patients with epilepsy whose data was recorded in the National Brain Mapping Lab (NBML). The results of the proposed method are in line with the information provided in EEG for each of the 6 patients, and for the 4 patients who were candidates for brain surgery, they provided further information. The results suggest a significant improvement in localization accuracy and precision compared to existing methods in the literature.
