Background::The combination of high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) with single-mode imaging methods has been proved useful in identifying epileptogenic zones, whereas few studies have examined HFOs combined with multimodal imaging methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of ripples, an HFO subtype with a frequency of 80 to 200 Hz is combined with multimodal imaging methods in predicting epilepsy surgery outcome.Methods::HFOs were analyzed in 21 consecutive medically refractory epilepsy patients who underwent epilepsy surgery. All patients underwent positron emission tomography (PET) and deep electrode implantation for stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG); 11 patients underwent magnetoencephalography (MEG). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy in predicting surgical outcome were calculated for ripples combined with PET, MEG, both PET and MEG, and PET combined with MEG. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were conducted in each group t
