A member asked:
Can a pet scan diagnose generalized seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Primary generalized seizures would not be expected to change anything on a PET scan. Partial-onset could show an area of altered metabolism. Either way, PET scans are not really a primary way to diagnose epilepsy.
