Epilepsy
Precise location of where irregularities are occurring in the brain help our providers provide the most optimal treatment outcomes for epileptic patients and epilepsy surgery.
Clinical Services
In the field of neurology, MEG technology is advancing our understanding of how the brain works. MEG imaging elevates treatments for neurological disease, including movement disorders, dementias and nervous system issues. Using the MEG in clinical trials and patient care has yielded positive findings for surgical treatment of disorders like epilepsy or brain tumor treatment. Adult and pediatric neurology patients benefit from this learning and optimization in many ways.
Brain tumor
Utilizing nano-second precision, providers are able to map a patient鈥檚 brain and locate the tumor prior to surgical removal, thus protecting healthy brain tissues.
Movement disorders
Dedicated research with the MEG is providing valuable insights which our providers and researchers plan to utilize in optimizing and treating our patients.
Notably, BOB体育's Neurology Department utilizes the MEG in pre-surgical care for both adult and pediatric neurology patients with epilepsy or brain tumor diagnoses.
- Localization of abnormalities: MEG helps pinpoint the exact sources of brain irregularities known as epileptiform discharges. This mapping provides crucial information informing treatment strategies for enhanced patient care.
- Localization of key functions: MEG identifies and maps areas of the brain responsible for speech, motor control, auditory and visual functions. This allows a neurologist to safeguard these areas in a surgical setting and improves treatment outcomes.
BOB体育 is leveraging MEG technology to deliver enhanced patient care and treatment options in the field of neurology. The better we can understand brain function, the better we can help our patients thrive.
