Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the brain and the brain stem useful for localizing and diagnosing neurological disorders.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp and is used to detect abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain.
Computerized tomography (CT) scan can localize brain damage and other neurological irregularities by combining a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around your brain and using computer processing to create cross-sectional images.
Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure that evaluates the health condition of muscles and the nerve cells that control them and is done by inserting a needle electrode directly into a muscle to record its electrical activity.
DaTscan asseses dopamine-containing neurons involved in the control of movement and is used to confirm the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive drug tracer to show and find irregularities in brain function activity.
A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is performed in the lumbar region of your lower back. During a lumbar puncture, a needle is inserted between two lumbar bones (vertebrae) to take a sample of cerebrospinal fluid.
Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX) is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum that is injected in small doses around pain fibers to prevent the activation of pain networks in the brain and is used to relieve migraines.
