(MRI) & (CT)
Facilitate examination of soft tissues of the
brain and the spinal cord
Neuroimaging tools
Electromyography
Uses electrodes taped to skin
Measure transfer of electrical signals in peripherals nerves to muscle
Myelography
Radiographic study of the spinal cord
Requires contrast medium through lumbar puncture
Echoencephalography
Use of a ultrasound imaging to create visual images
The image form in brain for diagnostic purpose
Lumbar Puncture
Insertion of needles into subarachnoid space of lumbar region
Process obtaining sample
To withdraw specimen of cerebrospinal fluid
Electroencephalography
Recording electrical activity of the brain
Result displayed as brain waves in monitor
Record with electrodes attached to the scalp
Carotid Ultrasonography
Ultrasound study of the carotid artery
Detect plaque build up or to diagnose a stroke
