    Abstract Background: A critical necessity before surgical resection in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) is lateralizing the seizure focus in the temporal lobe. This study aimed to investigate the differences in perfusion pattern changes in right and left mTLE.
    Methods: 42 mTLE patients (22 left and 20 right mTLE) and 14 controls were surveyed with pulsed arterial spin labeling at 3.0 T. The mean cerebral blood flow (CBF) and asymmetry index (AI) were calculated in the bilateral temporal lobe, amygdala, hippocampus, parahippocampus, and nine bilateral vascular territories ROIs. The alterations in whole-brain CBF were identified using statistical parametric mapping (SPM).
    Results: CBF decreased in ipsilateral sides in both epilepsy subcohorts, with right mTLE showing a significant difference in most ROIs while left mTLE exhibiting no significant change. CBF comparison of left mTLE and controls showed a significant drop in ROI analysis in left middle temporal and left intermediate posterior cerebral artery and in AI analysis in parahippocampus, distal anterior cerebral artery, distal middle cerebral artery, and intermediate anterior cerebral artery. CBF hypoperfusion was seen in ROI analysis in the left intermediate anterior cerebral artery, left middle temporal, right middle temporal, left superior temporal in the right mTLE compared to controls. Left mTLE CBF differed significantly from right mTLE CBF in right distal middle cerebral artery ROI and AI of proximal middle cerebral artery.
    Conclusion: Our result revealed that mTLE affects extratemporal regions and both mTLE subcohorts with different perfusion patterns, which may enhance the performance of preoperative MRI assessment in lateralization procedures.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this investigation was to determine whether a correlation could be discerned between perfusion acquired through ASL MRI and metabolic data acquired via 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE).
    Methods: ASL MRI and 18F-FDG PET data were gathered from 22 mTLE patients. Relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) asymmetry index (AIs) were measured using ASL MRI, and standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr) maps were obtained from 18F-FDG PET, focusing on bilateral vascular territories and key bitemporal lobe structures (amygdala, hippocampus, and parahippocampus). Intra-group comparisons were carried out to detect hypoperfusion and hypometabolism between the left and right brain hemispheres for both rCBF and SUVr in right and left mTLE. Correlations between the two AIs computed for each modality were examined.
    Results: Significant correlations were observed between rCBF and SUVr AIs in the middle temporal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, and hippocampus. Significant correlations were also found in vascular territories of the distal posterior, intermediate anterior, intermediate middle, proximal anterior, and proximal middle cerebral arteries. Intra-group comparisons unveiled significant differences in rCBF and SUVr between the left and right brain hemispheres for right mTLE, while hypoperfusion and hypometabolism were infrequently observed in any intracranial region for left mTLE.
    Conclusion: The study's findings suggest promising concordance between hypometabolism estimated by 18F-FDG PET and hypoperfusion determined by ASL perfusion MRI. This raises the possibility that, with prospective technical enhancements, ASL perfusion MRI could be considered an alternative modality to 18F-FDG PET in the future.
