The gray‐to‐white matter ratio of technetium 99m‐hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime ( 99m Tc‐HMPAO) in 14 anesthetized patients undergoing partial brain resection for treatment of complex partial seizures. The gray‐to‐wh1te matter ratio of 99m Tc‐HMPAO was 1.8: 1 (standard deviation 0.6) in the temporal lobe. Many of the biopsied specimens demonstrated histopathological abnormalities.
