Diagnosis of Neurological diseases

Our neurosurgery team uses advanced state-of-the-art techniques and technologies to evaluate and treat neurological conditions, including many rare or complex disorders. They work with a team of doctors trained in many areas to determine the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.

• Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)
  It is a fluoroscopic technique used extensively in interventional radiology for visualizing blood vessels. A fluid contrast substance is injected into the cerebral arteries to evaluate the intracranial blood circulation and examine if there is any abnormality such as an aneurysm, vascular malformation or blockage within the blood vessels. Radiopaque structures such as bones are eliminated (“subtracted”) digitally from the image, thus allowing for an accurate depiction of the blood vessels.
• Nerve Conduction Tests
  A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through your nerve and can identify nerve damage.
• Electromyography Studies
  Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response. This test helps detect neurological abnormalities by inserting one or more small needles through the skin.
• Evoked Potential Studies
  Sensory evoked potentials studies measure electrical activity in the brain in response to stimulation of sight, sound, or touch.
• Non - Invasive Video EEG Tests
  Non-Invasive EEG uses a set of electrodes placed on the scalp in diagnosing the neurological condition of the patient.
