Common Neurological Tests:
Electroencephalogram (EEG) / Brain Wave Study
This test records the brain's continuous electrical activity through electrodes attached to the scalp.
Electromyogram & Nerve Conduction Study (EMG/NCS)
This test records electrical activity from muscles and nerves. It involves electrical pulses on the skin to the nerves and the use of a small thin wire as an electrode in the muscles.
Transcranial Doppler (TCD)
This test uses sound waves (ultrasound) to detect blockage or blood flow through vessels in the brain.
Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) / Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
These tests involve pictures of the nervous system such as the brain or spinal cord.
