What neuroimaging services are available for pediatric patients?
MRI is commonly used to diagnose a variety of conditions in children resulting from injury, illness, or congenital abnormalities. It is especially valuable for imaging the brain and spinal cord, as it can visualize these areas through the skull and spine without using radiation.
What types of genetic testing are provided, and how are they used in diagnosis?
Genetic testing comes in various forms, including cytogenetic testing to examine whole chromosomes, biochemical testing to measure protein or enzyme levels, and molecular testing for small DNA mutations. Other types include gene expression testing to determine active genes, protein truncation studies to check protein size, and preimplantation testing for embryos conceived through IVF.Â
What is included in a neurodevelopmental assessment for children?
Using parent interviews, standardized tests, and observations, a neurodevelopmental assessment is a thorough analysis of a child’s functioning and development. Specialists like speech therapists, occupational therapists, or psychologists may conduct assessments, while play-based evaluations are used for younger children. The goal is to identify any developmental delays or issues, providing insights for treatment, therapy, and educational recommendations.
How does the pediatric neurology unit ensure the safety and comfort of children during tests?
To ensure the child’s safety and comfort during tests, such as an MRI, they will lie on a table that slides into the MRI tube. Although the test is painless, the MRI machine makes loud noises as it uses magnetic and radio waves to create images. We will be nearby to monitor your child and ensure they remain safe and comfortable throughout the procedure.
What specialized services are available for children with sensory processing issues?
In the pediatric neurology unit, ensuring the safety and comfort of children during tests involves having them lie on a table that slides into the MRI tube. Although the MRI procedure is painless, the machine produces loud noises due to the magnetic and radio waves used to create images.
