Abstract
Ten patients with focal epilepsy were studied with magnetoencephalography (MEG) to determine if a new light-weight magnetically shielded room (lMSR) provides sufficient attenuation of magnetic interference to detect and localize the magnetic correlates of epileptic activity. Interictal MEG epileptic events co-localizing with the presumed location of the epileptogenic zone were found in all patients. MEG measurements performed in the lMSR provide an adequate signal-to-noise ratio for non-invasive localization of epileptic foci.Entities:
