ECG and EKG are both nicknames for electrocardiogram.EKG comes from the German spelling, elektrokardiogramm. Your doctor might use the term EKG to avoid confusion with an EEG, a different type of medical test that measures brain waves.
Neurological evaluations, medical history analysis, and electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings help healthcare professionals classify seizure types, identify potential triggers, and determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Advanced imaging techniques, like MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), help identify...
Most people don’t need special diagnostic tests. But sometimes, doctors suggest aCT scanor MRI to look for problems inside your brain that might cause your headaches. Skull X-rays won’t help. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is also unnecessary unless you’ve passed out when you had a headach...
Using simulated high-density (hd-)EEG data, we demonstrate that, while wPLI has high sensitivity for couplings presenting a mixture of linear and nonlinear interdependencies, only wSMI can detect purely nonlinear interaction dynamics. Moreover, we evaluated the potential impact of these differences ...
Blood and body fluid cultures and analyses (infections of many types) Creatinine (kidney function) CT and MRI scans (brain swelling, infections, anatomical or structural abnormalities/issues) Doppler ultrasound (abnormal blood flow to tissues or abscesses) Encephalogram or EEG (brain damage or abnor...
During the headache, at least one of the following characteristics: Nausea and/or vomiting Photophobia and/or phonophobia The headache cannot be attributed to another disorder. Imaging the brain with MRI and CT scans or performing a brain wave test (electroencephalogram [EEG]) is not necessary...

Using this approach, the Bipolar-Schizophrenia Network for Intermediate Phenotypes (B-SNIP) recently developed biomarker-based psychosis constructs—Biotypes—that capture biologically-distinctive groups of psychosis cases3. Based on a multistep multivariate analyses using cognition, EEG, and oculomotor ...
Brain activity testingwith an electroencephalogram (EEG) to help rule out conditions like epilepsy. If your doctor can't find a physical reason for your symptoms, they may refer you to a psychiatrist or psychologist. These mental health professionals will use specially designed interview and assessme...
