Neurosciences (Neurology & Neurosurgery) - Facilities in Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals Delhi, India

Dedicated Neuro and Neuro critical care Team Neuroradiology:

·   Multislice Computerized Tomography (64 slice CT) - Computed tomography (CT) scanning is a state-of-the-art medical imaging technology essential to many neurological and spinal procedures.
·        3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Delivers the highest resolution brain imaging to identify any brain malformations, tumors, strokes, or injury that may generate a seizure disorder.
·         Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) - Detects abnormalities of the blood vessels of the brain such as narrowing and blockage, or malformations.


Neurophysiology:

·     Electroencephalogram(EEG)- An EEG is conducted to record and analyze electrical signals generated by the brain
·        Electromyogram (EMG)- The EMG is an essential test to diagnose any nerve or muscle disease, which helps to establish an appropriate treatment.
·           Nerve conduction velocity test (NCV) - is an electrical test that is used to detect signs    of nerve injury.
·     Evoked Potentials (EP)- measure the electrophysiological responses of the nervous  system to stimuli
·       Video EEG- This non-invasive procedure is used to establish the diagnosis of various  forms of seizure activity
·         Trans cranial Doppler (TCD)- non invasively measures direction and velocity of blood  in major intracranial vessels
