摘要
癫痫是一种以反复癫痫发作为特征的脑部疾病。这些患者一般接受抗癫痫药物治疗。然而,超过 30% 的患者在药物治疗后变得难以治愈,需要接受一系列检查以确定癫痫手术的候选者。使用单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)和正电子发射计算机断层扫描(PET)放射性药物的核医学研究是用于这一目的的检查方法之一。由于现有的手术候选者调查指南尚未更新,泰国核医学会、泰国神经学会、泰国皇家神经外科学院和泰国医学物理学家协会合作制定了这份泰国全国癫痫核医学研究指南。该指南侧重于脑灌注 SPECT 和 F-18 氟脱氧葡萄糖 PET (FDG-PET) 的使用,这两种方法是日常实践中的主要方法。该指南旨在帮助转诊医生(如癫痫和神经科医生)、放射科医生、核医学医生、医学物理学家、核医学技师和技术人员有效利用核医学检查。
Thai National Guideline for Nuclear Medicine Investigations in Epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain, which is characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures. These patients are generally treated with antiepileptic drugs. However, more than 30% of the patients become medically intractable and undergo a series of investigations to define candidates for epilepsy surgery. Nuclear Medicine studies using Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals are among the investigations used for this purpose. Since available guidelines for the investigation of surgical candidates are not up-to-date, The Nuclear Medicine Society of Thailand, The Neurological Society of Thailand, The Royal College of Neurological Surgeons of Thailand, and The Thai Medical Physicist Society has collaborated to develop this Thai national guideline for Nuclear Medicine study in epilepsy. The guideline focuses on the use of brain perfusion SPECT and F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET (FDG-PET), the mainly used methods in day-to-day practice. This guideline aims for effective use of Nuclear Medicine investigations by referring physicians e.g. epileptologists and neurologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, medical physicists, nuclear medicine technologists and technicians.
