Abstract
We have implemented a global system consisting of techniques and protocols for the combination (registration, visualization, navigation and processing) of various multidimensional biomedical imaging sensors, including all current modalities and also electro-magnetic tomography (EMT), to study, assess, and localize neurological (dys-)function for both clinical and research applications. The already well described interest for this combination stems from the broad variety of complementary information brought out by modern biomedical imaging modalities. In this context, the input of volumetric EMT permits direct sighting, in near real-time, of any EM (dys-)functional behavior. Besides allowing morphology, metabolism and function to be studied simultaneously and from different points of view, the global combination permitted by our approach is expected to show its best value when studying pathologies reflected by metabolic or electromagnetic dysfunctions such as drug-resistant epilepsy
