EEG Test at National MRI, CT Scan & Diagnostic Centre

An EEG (Electroencephalogram) is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic test used to record the electrical activity of the brain. At National MRI, CT Scan & Diagnostic Centre, we provide accurate and reliable EEG testing using advanced equipment and expert supervision to help diagnose and monitor various neurological conditions.

The brain communicates through electrical signals. An EEG captures these signals and converts them into wave patterns that help doctors evaluate brain function. It is an essential test for identifying abnormalities related to seizures, epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other neurological conditions.

What is an EEG?

An EEG measures brain activity using small metal discs called electrodes, which are placed on the scalp. These electrodes detect electrical impulses produced by brain cells. The test does not deliver electricity to the body and is completely painless.

EEG results help neurologists understand how well the brain is functioning and detect unusual patterns that may indicate underlying neurological problems.

When is an EEG Recommended?

Your doctor may advise an EEG test if you experience:

• Seizures or unexplained fainting spells
• Suspected or diagnosed epilepsy
• Frequent headaches or migraines
• Sleep disorders such as insomnia or narcolepsy
• Sudden memory loss or confusion
• Brain infections or inflammation
• Head injury or trauma
• Behavioral or developmental concerns
• Monitoring brain activity during or after treatment

An EEG plays a vital role in early diagnosis and ongoing management of neurological conditions.

What to Expect During an EEG Test/mark>

The EEG procedure is simple and usually takes 30 to 60 minutes:

1. Electrodes are placed on your scalp using a special conductive gel.
2. You will be asked to relax, lie down, or sit comfortably.
3. You may be asked to perform simple tasks such as breathing deeply or looking at flashing lights.
4. Brain wave activity is recorded throughout the test.
5. After completion, electrodes are removed, and you can go home immediately.

There is no downtime, and normal activities can be resumed after the test.

Preparation for an EEG/mark>

To ensure accurate results, follow these instructions:

• Wash your hair and avoid applying oil, gel, or spray
• Avoid caffeine on the day of the test
• Take prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your doctor
• Inform the technician about any ongoing medications or medical conditions
• For sleep EEG, follow specific sleep-related instructions provided in advance
