Diagnostic Utility of Arterial Spin Labeling MRI in Straight to MRI Code Stroke Patients for Seizure Detection: A Comparison with FLAIR, DWI and EEG

Key Points

• To assess the effectiveness of arterial spin labeling MRI in identifying seizure activity in stroke patients.
• Utilized ASL, FLAIR, DWI, and EEG for seizure detection.
• Analyzed cerebral hemodynamic changes in patients with acute seizures.
• Compared diagnostic accuracy and EEG concordance across imaging techniques.
• ASL accurately predicts and identifies the epileptogenic zone.
• Higher diagnostic accuracy noted in ASL compared to FLAIR and DWI.
• FLAIR shows better spatial correlation with ASL than DWI.
