Structural & Functional MRI:
Identifying MS plaques, brain tumors, and mapping white matter pathways (DTI).
Emergency CT & CTA:
Instant detection of trauma, brain bleeds, and vascular aneurysms.
Evoked Potentials (EP):
Measuring brain response to visual/auditory stimuli for optic and brainstem lesions.
Pediatric Neuro-Diagnostics:
Specialized protocols ensuring a gentle environment for neurological assessments in children.
Preparation & Safety Guidelines
- For EEG/EMG: Ensure hair and skin are clean and free of oils, lotions, or sprays.
- For MRI: Inform staff of any metallic implants, pacemakers, or neuro-stimulators.
- Comfort: Professional sedation services are available for anxious patients or those with involuntary movements.
- Medications: Do not stop anti-epileptic medications unless explicitly instructed by your physician.
