Both measure electrical activity -- the ECG in the heart and the EEG in the brain.
An EEG is an electroencephalogram and an ECG also known as an EKG is an electrocardiogram. An EEG records brainwave/electrical activity. An ECG records the electrical activity that the heart produces.
What else can I help you with?
Can EEG confirm infarction?
EEG cannot confirm infarction, Only MRI CAN CONFIRM INFARCTION. EEG can only confirm epilepsy cidpusa.org
Can a person with a VNS stimulator have an EEG?
yer but they can not have a MRI scan
MRI to rule out seizure and lesional overt epilepsy?
MRI, CAT and EEG are ways of scanning the brain. An MRI scan could possibly help. You need to talk to a doctor.
What tests are used to diagnose epilepsy?
The most common diagnostic test is the EEG or electro encephalogram.
A 10 years old boy was diagnostic with epilepsy after his EEG test but normal in his MRI test Does he has epilepsy?
There are many reasons why an EEG and MRI Scan will show different results. They are different kinds of test that look for different things. Talk to your doctor about this.
Which is more useful mri or eeg?
An EEG is for measuring the electrical activity of the brain and how it responds to stimuli. An MRI scan is more like an x-ray. It is for examining the physical structure of parts of the body. There is no saying which is more correct as they are measuring different things.
Does an EEG show brain tumor?
Only a MRI can tell for sure
What are four common diagnostic test for disorders of the nervous system?
CT/CAT scan, electroencephalogram (EEG), MRI and PET scan
Can you have seizures from a head injury seizures that dont show up on an eeg?
Yes, it is quite common for those who have Partial Epilepsy for EEG's and MRI's to be clear as the section is not thin enough or only a small part of the brain is affected.
What does a venous angioma int he right frontal lobe without hemorrhage mean?
It means you have a vein malformation. I suffered my first seizure ever three days ago. Admitted to hospital, MRI with contrast and EEG showed my venous angioma is in the frontal lobe of my brain. I am now on anti-seizure medication and will have a new MRI and EEG every three months to make sure there are no changes.
How do doctors find out that a person has epilepsy?
First they will talk to the person or someone that knows them and has witnessed what they believe to have been a seizure. They will get various details from them. As epilepsy comes in all sorts of forms there are many questions that they could ask and one answer may lead to a different question. It is not possible to give them here.There are various test they can do. The big test that are done are an EEG and an MRI, both of which are types are of scans that can be done on the brain. They will monitor electrical activity and measure what happens under different stimuli. An EEG and an MRI can only be done in hospitals, so if a doctor believed there was a chance of someone having epilepsy, they could organise for an MRI or an EEG to be carried out.
If a person EEG and MRI on their brain comes back normal do this mean that they do not have bipolar disorders?
No, unfortunately there is no objective test for bipolar disorder, it can only be diagnosed by subjective observation of symptoms.
