Abstract
A neurodiagnostic workstation integrated into a hospital picture archiving and communication system supports low cost, low risk epilepsy surgery planning by combining biomedical information from four neuroimaging modalities. This medical workstation aims to provide an environment for optimal interpretation of multiple noninvasive image modalities by combining functional PET, MRS, and MEG information with structural MRI anatomy both qualitatively and quantitatively. Since there is currently little knowledge relating to the positive and negative findings of various imaging and intracranial EEG studies on patient populations, the data extracted will also help in outcome analyses to identify inefficient or duplicative evaluation procedures.Keywords
