Magnetoencephalography as a Clinical Tool: A Brief Review of Current Studies

Öz

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is becoming a very popular functional neuroimaging tool in clinical practice. It is currently used with other imaging methods to aid diagnosis and pre-surgical mapping of many conditions ranging from epilepsy to depression. This paper reviews the most current studies that have utilized MEG for investigating some of these conditions and discusses the benefits of using this method in medical practice.

Magnetoensefalografinin Klinik Araç Olarak Kullanımı: Güncel Araştırmaların Kısa İncelemesi

Öz

Magnetoensefalografi(MEG) gün geçtikçe klinik alanda kullanımı popüler olan bir nöro görüntüleme aracı olmaktadır. Şu anda bu araçtan diğer nöro görüntüleme yöntemleriyle birlikte tanı ve cerrahi operasyonlar öncesi haritalama amacıyla epilepsiden depresyona kadar birçok alanda yararlanılmaktadır. Bu kağıt bahsedilen medikal problemleri MEG aracılığıyla inceleyen ve MEG’in kullanımının medikal alanda yararlarını tartışan son araştırmaları incelemektedir.
