Are you concerned about whether you or a loved one is beginning to get dementia or another brain-based disorder? Perhaps some family members have had Alzheimer’s. You may wonder if a recent spate of memory problems signals cognitive decline.
As with other medical conditions, we can now slow the progression of many brain-based diseases when they’re diagnosed in the early stages. Thanks to advances in medical science, we can help diagnose and monitor a number of neurological disorders using a technique called brain mapping.
Our board-certified radiologists with REDI Diagnostics Corp in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, use the eVox® Brain Map to gain insights about your neurological health.
Perhaps you’ve asked your doctor to give you or your loved one a cognitive test because you’re worried about a possible decline in cognitive ability. You know that knowledge is power. If a neurological disorder is present, early treatment can help slow the loss of brain function and give you more quality time together.
If the cognitive test in your physician’s office leaves you with a question mark, you or your physician may decide that brain mapping is the next step. Our radiologists use eVox to provide you and your physician more information about your or your loved one’s neurological functioning.
Brain mapping can now identify subtle changes happening in brain function before symptoms become disabling.
The eVox Brain Map provides detailed imaging that highlights areas of neurological dysfunction. It shows degrees of brain activity and abnormal or weak connectivity in brain function. Brain mapping bolsters tests such as MRIs by helping diagnose and monitor brain-based disorders.
For example, brain mapping shows images of low levels of dopamine function, which supports a Parkinson’s diagnosis when taken together with other symptoms. In addition, brain mapping can help identify and track the progression of Huntington’s disease.
The technology helps differentiate the kinds of dementia identified during an MRI or PET scan, including Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, and Lewy body dementia. Now your physician can target your treatment, including medications helpful for your specific disorder.
The eVox Brain Map is a simple, painless, and noninvasive test. You don’t have to lie in a large tube akin to a donut hole like you do for an MRI or PET scan.
During eVox, you wear a cap that contains electrodes. Using electroencephalography, the brain map measures electrical brain activity while you perform easy tasks during the test. Advanced technology enables the data to be converted into a visual representation of brain activity. Our radiologists can detect any abnormal brainwave activity.
Because the eVox Brain Map pinpoints specific areas of brain dysfunction, it helps your physician tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs.
