One of the greatest challenges of achieving successful surgical outcomes in patients with epilepsy is the ability to properly localize the seizure onset zone (SOZ). Many techniques exist for localizing the SOZ, including intracranial electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, and stereoelectroencephalography. Recently, resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs‐fMRI) in conjunction with independent component analysis (ICA) has been utilized for presurgical planning of SOZ resection, with varying results. In this meta‐analysis, we analyze the current role of rs‐fMRI in identifying the SOZ for presurgical planning for patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy. Specifically, we seek to demonstrate its current effectiveness compared to other methods of SOZ localization.

静息态功能磁共振成像与独立成分分析用于术前癫痫发作区定位：系统评价和荟萃分析

在癫痫患者中取得成功手术结果的最大挑战之一是正确定位癫痫发作区 (SOZ) 的能力。存在许多用于定位 SOZ 的技术，包括颅内脑电图、脑磁图和立体脑电图。最近，静息态功能磁共振成像 (rs-fMRI) 结合独立成分分析 (ICA) 已被用于 SOZ 切除术的术前计划，结果各不相同。在这项荟萃分析中，我们分析了 rs-fMRI 在为耐药性癫痫患者的术前计划确定 SOZ 方面的当前作用。具体来说，我们试图证明与其他 SOZ 定位方法相比，其当前的有效性。
