Full-service Laboratory

Bronson’s Neurodiagnostic facility is a full-service laboratory providing state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and techniques for the investigation of neurological problems.

The types of problems commonly referred to the laboratory include:

Nerve disorders such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, nerve compression (pinched nerve) in the neck or back, and generalized problems of numbness, weakness, tingling or pain (such as neuropathy) that can be seen in diabetes, for example
Muscle disease usually associated with weakness, sometimes wasting, and cramping of muscles; an example of this is Polymyositis; some muscle diseases are inherited, just as some nerve diseases can be inherited
Brain and spinal cord disorders including a wide range of disorders such as seizures, changes in mental status, multiple sclerosis, tumors and trauma

Specialized testing is also available in the Autonomic section of the laboratory for problems such as dizziness and fainting, certain types of sexual dysfunction, abnormal bowel and bladder function, and sweating abnormalities.

Selection of the right tests is important to achieving good results, and the neurodiagnostic laboratory lists various studies that can be used either individually or in combination with other tests to help solve neurological problems. Neurological consultation is available to your physician when needed for selection or interpretation of tests.

Listed below are the studies available in the neurodiagnostic laboratory:

Electroencephalography (EEG)
Electromyography (EMG)
Evoked Potentials (Visual, Auditory, Somatosensory)
Intra-operative Monitoring
Autonomic Testing

Neurodiagnostics

Neurodiagnostics is the study of electrical activity from the brain and nervous system. Bronson neurodiagnostic services perform highly specialized diagnostic tests that assess anatomy or functioning of the brain, spinal cord, muscles, nerves and blood flow. Our goal is to get a reliable and complete diagnostic test and to work closely with your primary care physician to establish a satisfactory diagnosis.
