Electroneurography

Electroneurography (synonyms: electroneurography (ENG); ENG diagnostics) is a diagnostic procedure used to measure the nerve conduction velocity (NLG) of motor and sensory nerve tracts of peripheral nerves (nerve tracts of nerve cells responsible for muscle movement and skin sensitivity). This is an electrophysiological measurement method using surface or needle electrodes. The method is used to … Electroneurography

Brain Receptor Scintigraphy

Brain receptor scintigraphy is a nuclear medicine procedure used to visualize the transmission of information between nerve cells by radioactively labeled neurotransmitters (biochemical messengers between nerve cells). The cells of the central nervous system (CNS) are equipped with axons (long cell extensions) through which information/stimuli can be transmitted as electrical potentials. However, the connection points … Brain Receptor Scintigraphy

Perfusion Scintigraphy (Blood Flow Scintigraphy) of the Brain

Perfusion scintigraphy of the brain (synonym: perfusion scintigraphy of the brain) is used in nuclear medicine diagnostics as a dynamic scintigraphy procedure. The general principle of scintigraphic examinations is based on the fact that the patient is administered a radioactive substance (radionuclides, also called “tracers”), which, depending on its chemical structure, is deposited in different … Perfusion Scintigraphy (Blood Flow Scintigraphy) of the Brain
