Ambulatory Video EEG
Ambulatory Video EEG (Electroencephalogram) enables the interpreting neurologist to actually look at events along with associated electroencephalographic discharges. A video camera with EEG equipment is hooked up to the patient in the office. The patient than typically goes home with the equipment and goes about usual activities. Any specific events are recorded and then reviewed in detail after the patient is unhooked. Typically, this test is done in patients who are having unrecognized seizures, frequent seizures or pseudoseizures.

Evoked Potentials
Evoked Potentials, sometimes called Evoked Responses, are tests that record the brain’s response to sounds, touch, and light. These tests help to evaluate a number of neurological conditions.
Carotid Ultrasound
Carotid Ultrasound is a painless and harmless test that uses a high frequency sound wave to create pictures of the insides of the two large arteries in your neck. These arteries, called the carotid arteries, supply your brain with oxygen rich blood.
Transcranial Doppler (TCD)
A TCD uses ultrasound waves to measure the blood flow rate and direction in the mail cerebral arteries of the brain. It helps detect blockages, narrowing, or spasms of the arteries. TCD is non-invasive and has no risks.
