We provide many services for the care of inpatients with neurological conditions, including the below.
Diagnostic Tests
Brain MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain creates cross-sectional views (slices) of both healthy and unhealthy tissue using powerful magnet and radio signals. Inform your physician if you have a pacemaker or other metal implant.
CT scans use X-ray equipment and computer processing to produce 2-dimensional images of the body. The patient lies on a table and passes through a machine that looks like a large, squared-off donut.
In a lumbar puncture, a physician uses a thin, hollow needle to remove a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that washes the brain and spinal cord) from between the bones and the lower part of the spine.
