Diagnostics and Technology: 

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. At Fortis Hiranandani, our neurodiagnostic suite is equipped with:

High-Resolution MRI & CT Scans

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) scans are cornerstone imaging tools used to diagnose neurological conditions. MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed, high-resolution images of the brain, spine, and surrounding soft tissues, making it exceptionally useful for identifying conditions like brain tumours, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord compression, or stroke. On the other hand, CT scans use X-rays to produce rapid cross-sectional images of the brain, which are often the first line of investigation in cases of head trauma, suspected bleeding, or bone-related abnormalities. Together, these scans allow clinicians to pinpoint neurological disorders with precision.

Electroencephalography (EEG)

EEG is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that measures the brain’s electrical activity using sensors placed on the scalp. It is primarily used to evaluate seizures and epilepsy but also plays a vital role in diagnosing sleep disorders, encephalopathies, and altered mental states. EEG is particularly beneficial in monitoring brain activity in patients with head injuries or those under sedation and in confirming brain death in critical care situations. The patterns captured during EEG recordings offer insights into abnormal brain rhythms and neurological dysfunctions.

Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) & Electromyography (EMG)

These tests are essential for evaluating the health of nerves and muscles. Nerve Conduction Studies involve the application of mild electrical impulses to assess how quickly signals travel along the nerves, helping identify nerve damage, entrapment syndromes like carpal tunnel, or generalized neuropathies. Electromyography complements this by inserting fine needles into muscles to record their electrical activity during rest and contraction. EMG is beneficial for detecting muscular disorders, nerve root compression, or conditions like myasthenia gravis and motor neuron disease.

Evoked Potentials (Visual, Auditory, Somatosensory)

Evoked potential tests are used to assess the functional integrity of sensory pathways by measuring the brain's electrical response to specific stimuli. Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP) test the visual system’s response to light patterns, helping diagnose optic nerve damage or demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis. Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEP) evaluate the auditory pathways from the ear to the brainstem and are particularly useful in detecting hearing loss or brainstem lesions. Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP) assess the transmission of electrical signals from limbs to the brain and are valuable in spinal cord injury evaluations or surgical monitoring.
