Our results suggest that 1) simultaneous PET/MR imaging provides a useful imaging tool to identify regional abnormalities; 2) more information can be rendered from dynamic PET data; 3) SUVmean_late and cortical thickness are independent biomarkers for epilepsy. In general, Freesurfer and SPM are more robust in orientation and segmentation than FSL.
