Electroencephalography (EEG)

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a service provided at St. Luke's Magic Valley to help the physician in diagnosing disorders of the brain. We have been providing this service to the
community since 1968, and today we have state-of-the-art digital equipment to enhance our testing capabilities.

EEG is primary in the evaluation of epilepsy, seizure disorders, brain injury and infection, cerebral vascular accidents (CVAs) , transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), tumors, dementia, sleep disorders, and even brain death.

EEG is a non-invasive and painless procedure, which involves taking a brief history of the patient's complaints, measuring his or her head, applying electrode leads to the scalp, and running the test. A neurologist reads the EEG and reports the finding to the patient's physician.
