Electroencephalography (EEG)

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a vital diagnostic tool used to assess electrical activity in the brain. EEG is a non-invasive procedure that helps to diagnose various neurological conditions and disorders by recording and analyzing brain wave patterns.

Our EEG services are conducted by experienced neurologists and technologists using state-of-the-art equipment. During the procedure, electrodes are placed on the scalp using Small metal discs called electrodes. These electrodes are attached using a special conductive gel or paste to ensure good contact with the skin. The electrodes are arranged in specific patterns according to standardized systems to capture brain activity from different regions of the brain.

The electrodes detect electrical impulses generated by brain cells (neurons). These electrical signals are recorded and displayed as waveforms on a computer screen.

The EEG captures brain activity over a period of time, which can range from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the purpose of the test.

These recordings are then interpreted by our skilled team of neurologists to evaluate brain function, identify abnormalities such as seizure activity, epilepsy, sleep disorders, and monitor response to treatment.

Patients undergoing EEG at Medex experience personalized care and attention in a comfortable and supportive environment.
