PET Scan
Another test to diagnose epilepsy is the PET scan. It often starts with the injection of a radioactive material, which can react with electrons in the brain. The main goal is to locate any brain area that is affected by the seizure or epilepsy. In addition, it can determine other associated health problems. It can be done in the doctor’s office and only takes a few minutes to complete the procedure. A PET scan is often painless and does not cause any significant side effects. [4]
