Neurodiagnostics

  • Stroke/cerebrovascular disease

  • Electroencephalography (EEG) - The study of the electrical currents set up by brain actions; the record made is called an electroencephalogram

  • Electromyography (EMG) - A method of recording the electrical currents generated in a muscle during its contraction

  • Evoked Potential - A noninvasive examination of the central nervous system which demonstrates the response of the brain to electrical stimulation.

  • Computed Tomography (CT) Scan - A diagnostic imaging technique in which a computer reads x-rays to create a three-dimensional map of soft tissue or bone.

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Diagnostic test that produces three-dimensional images of body structures using powerful magnets and computer technology together rather than x-rays.
