Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Carotid ultrasound and transcranial doppler are two tests used to determine the amount of blood flow which is reaching the brain. These studies evaluate for blockage usually from cholesterol which can cause stroke. This study is performed with an ultrasound machine, much like the one used for prenatal ultrasounds. No special preparation is necessary.

Surgeons

• Sciatica
  EMG (also known as electromyography) is a test used to evaluate for neurologic conditions such as neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, myopathy and sciatica. This test uses small electrical impulses to stimulate individual nerves. By measuring the nerve’s response we can determine what and where the problem is. The second part of the test involves using a thin needle to check several muscles. This allows us to determine if there is an underlying muscle problem. By using these two techniques we can accurately diagnose nerve and muscle conditions. No special preparation is necessary for the test.
