EEG/ENG
EEG (Electroencephalogram) is a valuable diagnostic tool at a super multi-speciality centre. It is a medical device used to record EEG (Electroencephalography) – it records and measures the brain’s electrical activity. The test uses small metal discs called electrodes that attach to the scalp. Brain cells communicate via electrical impulses, and this activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording.
An EEG is one of the main tests to help diagnose epilepsy or another seizure condition. An EEG also might be helpful for diagnosing and treating – brain tumors, brain damage from a head injury, encephalopathy, inflammation of the brain, stroke and sleep conditions. An EEG can be used to confirm brain death in someone in a coma
Likewise, ENG (Electroneurography) involves recording the electrical activity of nerves and muscles, typically using electrodes placed on the skin. This process can help diagnose nerve and muscle disorders and the activities of the neurons.
These non-invasive tests enhance clinical decision-making, improve patient outcomes, and are essential in comprehensive neurological evaluation within multi-speciality healthcare settings.
