• Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of [18F]-FDG PET/MRI were 95.3%, 8.8%, and 65.3% for seizure onset localization based on surgical pathology and postsurgical outcome, respectively. • Concordance of EOZ localization between PET/MRI and surgical resection range was a good positive predictor of seizure freedom; presurgical [18F]-FDG PET/MRI will probably improve the surgical outcome.
