Magnetic angiography/venography
Radionuclide-Based Imaging
This type of neuroimaging measures glucose and oxygen levels and detects abnormal brain tissue.
EKG
This type of neuroimaging measures brain activity and is the preferred tool for seizures.
Electromyography
Event-related potentials
Neuroimaging that measures muscle electrical activity.
This type of neuroimaging examines specific sensory stimulations (auditory, visual, somatosensory).
