Abstract

Introduction: There remains a critical need for precise localization of the epileptogenic foci in individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging can reveal hypometabolic regions during the interval between seizures in patients with epilepsy. However, visual-based qualitative analysis is time-consuming and strongly influenced by physician experience. CortexID Suite is a quantitative analysis software that helps to evaluate PET imaging of the human brain. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of CortexID quantitative analysis in the localization of the epileptogenic zone in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).

Methods: A total of 102 patients with epilepsy who underwent 18F-FDG-PET examinations were included in this retrospective study. The PET visual analysis was interpreted by two nuclear medicine physicians, and the quantitative analysis was performed automatically using CortexID analysis software. The assumed epileptogenic zone was evaluated comprehensively by two skilled neurologists in the preoperative assessment of epilepsy. The accuracy of epileptogenic zone localization in PET visual analysis was compared with that in CortexID quantitative analysis.

Results: The diagnostic threshold for the difference in the metabolic Z-score between the right and left sides of medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) was calculated as 0.87, and that for lateral temporal lobe epilepsy (LTLE) was 2.175. In patients with MTLE, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.922 for PET visual analysis, 0.853 for CortexID quantitative analysis, and 0.971 for the combined diagnosis. In patients with LTLE, the AUC was 0.842 for PET visual analysis, 0.831 for CortexID quantitative analysis, and 0.897 for the combined diagnosis. These results indicate that the diagnostic efficacy of CortexID quantitative analysis is not inferior to PET visual analysis (p > 0.05), while combined analysis significantly increases diagnostic efficacy (p < 0.05). Among the 23 patients who underwent surgery, the sensitivity and specificity of PET visual analysis for localization were 95.4% and 66.7%, and the sensitivity and specificity of CortexID quantitative analysis were 100% and 50%.

Conclusion: The diagnostic efficacy of CortexID quantitative analysis is comparable to PET visual analysis in the localization of the epileptogenic zone in patients with TLE. CortexID quantitative analysis combined with visual analysis can further improve the accuracy of epileptogenic zone localization.

评估CortexID定量分析在颞叶癫痫患者致痫区定位中的功效
导言:耐药性癫痫(DRE)患者的致痫灶仍亟需精确定位。18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(FDG-PET)成像可显示癫痫患者发作间歇期的低代谢区。然而,基于视觉的定性分析非常耗时,而且深受医生经验的影响。CortexID Suite 是一款定量分析软件,可帮助评估人脑 PET 成像。因此,我们旨在评估 CortexID 定量分析在颞叶癫痫(TLE)患者致痫区定位中的功效:这项回顾性研究共纳入了102名接受18F-FDG-PET检查的癫痫患者。PET 视觉分析由两名核医学医生解读,定量分析使用 CortexID 分析软件自动进行。假定的致痫区由两名熟练的神经科医生在术前评估癫痫时进行综合评估。将 PET 视觉分析与 CortexID 定量分析的致痫区定位准确性进行了比较:经计算,内侧颞叶癫痫(MTLE)左右两侧代谢Z-score差异的诊断阈值为0.87,外侧颞叶癫痫(LTLE)的诊断阈值为2.175。在 MTLE 患者中,PET 视觉分析的曲线下面积(AUC)为 0.922,CortexID 定量分析的曲线下面积(AUC)为 0.853,综合诊断的曲线下面积(AUC)为 0.971。在LTLE患者中,PET视觉分析的AUC为0.842,CortexID定量分析的AUC为0.831,综合诊断的AUC为0.897。这些结果表明,CortexID 定量分析的诊断效果并不亚于 PET 视觉分析(P > 0.05),而联合分析则显著提高了诊断效果(P 结论:CortexID 定量分析的诊断效果并不亚于 PET 视觉分析(P > 0.05),而联合分析则显著提高了诊断效果:CortexID定量分析与PET显像分析在TLE患者致痫区定位方面的诊断效果相当。CortexID定量分析与视觉分析相结合可进一步提高致痫区定位的准确性。

期刊介绍: Aims and Scope Neurology and Therapy aims to provide reliable and inclusive, rapid publication for all therapy related research for neurological indications, supporting the timely dissemination of research with a global reach, to help advance scientific discovery and support clinical practice. Neurology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer reviewed, rapid publication journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of neurological and psychiatric therapies, (also covering surgery and devices). Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also welcomed. The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports, trial designs, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Neurology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research. Rapid Publication The journal’s rapid publication timelines aim for a peer review decision within 2 weeks of submission. If an article is accepted, it will be published online 3-4 weeks from acceptance. These rapid timelines are achieved through the combination of a dedicated in-house editorial team, who closely manage article workflow, and an extensive Editorial and Advisory Board who assist with rapid peer review. This allows the journal to support the rapid dissemination of research, whilst still providing robust peer review. Combined with the journal’s open access model, this allows for the rapid and efficient communication of the latest research and reviews to support scientific discovery and clinical practice. Open Access All articles published by Neurology and Therapy are open access. Personal Service The journal’s dedicated in-house editorial team offer a personal “concierge service” meaning that authors will always have a personal point of contact able to update them on the status of their manuscript. The editorial team check all manuscripts to ensure that articles conform to the most recent COPE and ICMJE publishing guidelines. This supports the publication of ethically sound and transparent research. We also encourage pre-submission enquiries and are always happy to provide a confidential assessment of manuscripts. Digital Features and Plain Language Summaries Neurology and Therapy offers a range of additional features designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. Each article is accompanied by key summary points, giving a time-efficient overview of the content to a wide readership. Articles may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand the scientific content and overall implications of the article. The journal also provides the option to include various types of digital features including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations. All additional features are peer reviewed to the same high standard as the article itself. If you consider that your paper would benefit from the inclusion of a digital feature, please let us know. Our editorial team are able to create high-quality slide decks and infographics in-house, and video abstracts through our partner Research Square, and would be happy to assist in any way we can. For further information about digital features, please contact the journal editor (see ‘Contact the Journal’ for email address), and see the ‘Guidelines for digital features and plain language summaries’ document under ‘Submission guidelines’. For examples of digital features please visit our showcase page https://springerhealthcare.com/expertise/publishing-digital-features/ Publication Fees Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be required to pay the mandatory Rapid Service Fee of €5250/$6000/£4300. The journal will consider fee discounts and waivers for developing countries and this is decided on a case-by-case basis. Peer Review Process Upon submission, manuscripts are assessed by the editorial team to ensure they fit within the aims and scope of the journal and are also checked for plagiarism. All suitable submissions are then subject to a comprehensive single-blind peer review. Reviewers are selected based on their relevant expertise and publication history in the subject area. The journal has an extensive pool of editorial and advisory board members who have been selected to assist with peer review based on the afore-mentioned criteria. At least two extensive reviews are required to make the editorial decision, with the exception of some article types such as Commentaries, Editorials and Letters which are generally reviewed by one member of the Editorial Board. Where reviews conflict, an Editorial Board Member will be contacted for further advice and a presiding decision. Manuscripts are then either accepted, rejected or authors are required to make major or minor revisions (both reviewer comments and editorial comments may need to be addressed. Once a revised manuscript is re-submitted, it is assessed along with the responses to reviewer comments and if it has been adequately revised, it will be accepted for publication. Accepted manuscripts are then copyedited and typeset by the production team before online publication. Appeals against decisions following peer review are considered on a case-by-case basis and should be sent to the journal editor, and authors are welcome to make rebuttals against individual reviewer comments, if appropriate. Preprints We encourage posting of preprints of primary research manuscripts on preprint servers, authors'' or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration in our journals.
