Results for tag: "Magnetoencephalography"

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a medical imaging technique used to measure and map the magnetic fields generated by electrical activity in the brain. It is a non-invasive technique that uses a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) to detect the tiny magnetic fields generated by the electrical activity of neurons in the brain. MEG is used to diagnose and monitor neurological conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, and brain tumors. It can also be used to study brain function in healthy individuals. MEG is a relatively new technology, and is not widely available. It is most commonly used in research settings, but is increasingly being used in clinical settings. It is a valuable tool for understanding the brain and its functions, and can provide valuable insights into neurological conditions. Some companies in the MEG market include CTF Systems, Neuromag, Elekta, and Yokogawa Electric Corporation. Show Less Read more
