Digital Electroencephalogram (EEG)

An EEG is a recording of the ongoing electrical activity of the brain, which is used in the diagnosis of epilepsy and many other neurological symptoms.

24 Hour Ambulatory Digital Electroencephalogram (EEG)

(48 hour also available) This test records electrical activity of the brain. It is worn home and then removed the next day. Being much longer than a standard EEG, this test can help document nocturnal seizures and other events that may indicate seizures.

Electromyogram/Nerve Conduction Studies (EMG-NCS)

An EMG is a recording of the electrical activity in the muscles. It is performed to discover the cause of: Muscle Weakness, Muscle Spasms, Paralysis, Pain in the Arms, Hands, Legs.

Visual Evoked Potential (VEP)

A checkerboard pattern on a television screen will stimulate the visual pathway of the brain. This test can help determine Optic Neuritis and Demyelinating diseases (MS).

Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEP)

Earphones are used to stimulate the auditory pathway to the brain. It will identify abnormalities of the inner ear, brainstem, and/or the auditory pathways of the brain.

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)

An OAE is an objective hearing screening to determine if a further comprehensive hearing evaluation is indicated, it is also used as a guideline in determining thresholds for BAEP.

Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SEP)

A small electrical current is used to stimulate a nerve in an arm and/or leg. It will identify abnormalities which interfere with the travel of the stimulus over the peripheral nerves and/or spinal cord.

Carotid Duplex

This test is an evaluation of the carotid arteries which supply blood to the brain. This test can detect narrowing and/or blockage of these blood vessels .

Bubble Study / Emboli Detection

This will determine if a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is present in the heart by listening for bubbles in the middle cerebral or vertebral arteries.

Transcranial Doppler (TCD)

This test assesses the speed of the blood flow in the major arteries of the brain. The assessment of blood flow helps to determine whether there is a narrowing, blockage or malformation of the arteries of the brain.

Video Nystagmography (VNG)

This test is designed to study the inner ear and central nervous system through the recording of eye movements.

Liberatory/Epley Maneuvers

The VNG can determine if an Epley or Liberatory Maneuver is recommended. These are simple treatments for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP)

Posturography measures the systems that control your equilibrium. Your ability to maintain balance depends on information received from the inner ear, vision, and the somatosensory nerves. By measuring your center of gravity, sheer and sway, the test can determine what systems your brain is using for balance. Motor control is evaluated as well as adaption.

Vestibular Autorotation Test (VAT)

The vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) is the system that controls eye movement with the inner ear. VAT measures both distance and timing to determine the function of the VOR.
