What Diagnostic Tools Are Used in Pediatric Neurophysiology?
Several diagnostic tools are employed to assess neurological function in children: - Electroencephalography (EEG): Measures electrical activity in the brain and is commonly used to diagnose epilepsy and other seizure disorders. - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Provides detailed images of the brain's structure and is useful for identifying abnormalities such as tumors or congenital malformations. - Computed Tomography (CT): Offers cross-sectional images of the brain and is often used in emergency settings. - Neuropsychological Testing: Assesses cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
