At Ujala Cygnus Varanasi, we offer a personalized treatment strategy that combines medications, advanced scans, tests, surgeries, and therapies for each patient.
Some of the key scans for assessment are:
CT Scans can quickly detect bleeding in the brain and spine. It also detects cysts, tumors, herniated discs, and other abnormalities.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) records the brain’s electrical activity, especially in patients with epilepsy and sleep disorders.
MRI uses magnetic fields to assess stroke intensity, traumatic brain injury, brain and spinal cord tumors, and multiple sclerosis.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scans use small amounts of radioactive isotopes to evaluate brain activity.
Another diagnostic method is Spinal tap (lumbar puncture).
In this test, cerebrospinal fluid samples are extracted using a needle and sent to a laboratory to check for infections, tumors, and internal bleeding in the brain and spine.
