Use of Innovative SPECT Techniques in the Presurgical Evaluation of Patients with Nonlesional Extratemporal Drug-Resistant Epilepsy

Figure 3

Demonstration of the use of automatic SPECT injectors at the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) at Presbyterian University Hospital (PUH). Automatic injectors are armed by nuclear medicine staff. The radiotracer is injected upon a button press by the EMU staff in the EMU control room (pictures on the left side) upon observing clinical or electrographic seizure affecting the monitored patient (pictures on the right side).
