Related Diagnostic Procedures
-Angiogram
-WADA
-SPECT
-Uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of
the organs and tissues within your body
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
-Cross sectional MRI images are used, but it can also be used to
produce 3-D images
-Uses a radioactive drug (aka tracer) to show the functional
activity of tissues and organs
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) -PET is commonly used in seizure patients to localize the part of the
brain that is causing the seizure activity
-The test evaluates glucose metabolism in the brain using the tracer (usually
FDG)
-Combines series of x-ray images taken from different angles and then
CT (Computerized Tomography) creates cross- sectional images that look at bones, blood vessels and
soft tissues.
-Faster than an MRI
-Minimally invasive test that uses x-rays and contrasts to visualize vessels in the
Angiogram brain
-Can show aneurysm, AVM, blood clot, stroke
