Welcome to the Department of Neurology's Neurodiagnostic Labs Division. The division includes the EEG lab and EMG lab
The UIHC is recognized for innovation, excellence, and leadership in the treatment of various physiological conditions.
Our physicians are national leaders in their respective specialties and constantly strive for excellence by participating and presenting in national and international conferences, as well as conducting clinical and basic science research. Their dedication to advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care is evident in their numerous publications and contributions to the medical community.
Our Neurodiagnostic Labs division is composed of the EEG Lab and EMG Lab, both of which have been ABRET accredited since 2019. This accreditation underscores our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and patient safety in neurodiagnostic testing. Our labs are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by highly trained professionals who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. We are proud to offer comprehensive neurodiagnostic services that support our mission of providing exceptional care to our patients.
What is EMG?
An Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). The test measures the electrical activity produced by muscles in response to nerve stimulation.
During an EMG, a needle electrode is inserted through the skin into the muscle tissue. This electrode detects the electrical activity of the muscle both at rest and during contraction. The signals are then displayed on a monitor or heard through a speaker. An EMG can help diagnose conditions that affect muscle function or the nerves that control muscles, such as muscular dystrophy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and peripheral neuropathies.

What is EEG?
An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test used to evaluate the electrical activity in the brain. Brain cells communicate with each other through electrical impulses, and an EEG can help detect potential problems associated with this activity.
During an EEG, small electrodes are placed on the scalp to pick up the electrical signals produced by the brain. These signals are then recorded and displayed as wavy lines on a computer screen or paper. The test is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain tumors, and other neurological conditions.
