EEG Services
About EEG Services
EEG (Electroencephalogram) Services at Nano Hospitals are specialized diagnostic tests used to measure and record the electrical activity of the brain. This non-invasive procedure helps doctors evaluate neurological conditions by identifying abnormal brain wave patterns associated with seizures, epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain infections, and other neurological concerns.
EEG plays a crucial role in early diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of brain-related disorders in both adults and children.
Overview
An EEG is a diagnostic test that records the brain’s electrical signals using small electrodes placed on the scalp. These signals are displayed as wave patterns that help neurologists detect abnormalities in brain function.
At Nano Hospitals, EEG services are conducted using advanced digital EEG systems that provide high-quality recordings for precise neurological assessment.
Workflow
Step 1: Doctor’s Evaluation
A neurologist recommends an EEG if a patient experiences seizures, fainting episodes, unexplained confusion, memory issues, or sleep disturbances.
Step 2: Preparation
The patient’s scalp is cleaned, and multiple small electrodes are placed on specific areas of the head using a conductive gel or paste.
Step 3: Brain Wave Recording
The EEG machine records brain activity while the patient rests quietly. In some cases, stimuli like flashing lights or deep breathing may be used.
Step 4: Monitoring Period
The test usually lasts 20–60 minutes, though longer monitoring may be required for certain conditions.
Step 5: Interpretation and Reporting
A neurologist analyses the recorded wave patterns and prepares a detailed report to guide diagnosis and treatment.
