Electroencephalogram (EEG) Services at Dr. KNS Memorial Hospital
Dr. KNS Memorial Hospital provides advanced Electroencephalogram (EEG) services for the diagnosis and evaluation of neurological conditions affecting the brain's electrical activity. EEG is a non-invasive test that measures and records the brain's electrical signals, helping our experienced neurologists diagnose conditions such as epilepsy, seizures, and other neurological disorders.
Cutting-Edge EEG Technology
Our hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art EEG machines capable of capturing high-quality brainwave recordings. These machines detect and amplify electrical signals generated by the brain, producing detailed EEG tracings that provide valuable insights into brain function and activity.
Indications for EEG
EEG may be recommended for patients experiencing symptoms such as:
- Seizures or convulsions
- Loss of consciousness or altered awareness
- Abnormal movements or behaviors suggestive of epilepsy
- Evaluation of sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy
- Monitoring brain function during brain surgery or intensive care
Comprehensive Neurological Assessment
EEG provides valuable diagnostic information to aid in the diagnosis and management of various neurological conditions, including:
- Epilepsy: abnormal electrical activity in the brain leading to recurrent seizures
- Seizure disorders: abnormal synchronous firing of neurons causing convulsions or loss of consciousness
- Brain tumors: abnormal electrical patterns indicative of tumor growth or location
- Sleep disorders: abnormalities in brainwave patterns during sleep indicative of sleep-related conditions
Minimally Invasive Procedure
EEG is a painless and non-invasive procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting. During the test, small electrodes are attached to the scalp using adhesive gel or paste. These electrodes detect and record electrical signals produced by the brain, which are then amplified, filtered, and displayed as EEG tracings on a computer monitor.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Report
After the EEG recording is completed, the data is analyzed by our experienced neurologists to generate a comprehensive diagnostic report. This report provides detailed information about brainwave patterns, abnormalities, and any findings suggestive of neurological conditions.
Patient-Centered Care
At Dr. KNS Memorial Hospital, we prioritize patient-centered care in everything we do. Our team of neurologists, EEG technicians, and support staff are dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized care to every patient undergoing EEG testing. We strive to ensure that patients feel comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the testing process.
