MRI scanners can measure very low signal intensities. In the optimal case, only the thermal noise of the patient should limit the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Spurious signals received from PET detector
that can be extended to long aFOV systems by adding multiple copies of such ring-shaped gantries. In PET/MRI, where the PET detectors are normally placed between the gradient coils
CT or MRIpictures may show problems in your brain that can cause bipolar disorder. Contrast liquid may be given to help your brain show up better in the pictures. Tell the healthcare provider if you have ever had an allergic reaction to contrast liquid. Do not enter the MRI room with any...
A frontal lobe seizure may not show up on an EEG. Your healthcare provider may make a video recording while you sleep. The combination of EEG and video recording may help diagnose a frontal lobe seizure. CT or MRI pictures may be used to check for abnormal areas or tumors. You may be...

until the EEG was able to measure abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Multiple sclerosis could be misdiagnosed as hysterical paralysis until the CAT scan and the MRI discovered brain lesions. And recently, we used to think that stomach ulcers were just caused by st...

The controversial question of whether machines may ever be conscious must be based on a careful consideration of how consciousness arises in the only physical system that undoubtedly possesses it: the human brain. We suggest that the word “consciousness
That hand will usually be on the opposite side from where the seizure started. You may also need any of the following:An EEG records the electrical activity of your brain. It is used to find changes in the normal patterns of your brain activity. A temporal lobe seizure may not show up ...
This sample may show an infection. It may also show how much pressure is in your brain and spine from the inflammation. A needle is inserted into your spinal canal through your back. CSF may also be drained to relieve pressure and ease a headache. An EEG is used to check how your ...
