Table 7 FDG-PET mean intensity: Cerebral cortical lobar ratios to whole brain mean: lower ratios indicate greater hypometabolism. WBM: whole brain mean; ipsi = ipsilateral; contra = contralateral.

From: 'MRI-negative PET-positive' temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and mesial TLE differ with quantitative MRI and PET: a case control study
