EEG Description:- An electroencephalogram  is a test used to detect abnormalities related to electrical activity of the brain. This procedure tracks and records brain wave patterns. Small metal discs with thin wires (electrodes) are placed on the scalp, and then send signals to a computer to record the results.An EEG is used to detect problems in the electrical activity of the brain that may be associated with certain brain disorders. The measurements given by an EEG are used to confirm, rule out, or provide information about disorders such as: seizure disorders, including epilepsy.

It can often be done without needing to stay overnight in the hospital.

COMPUTER ASSISTED TOMOGRAPHY Computer Assisted Tomography :- A CT (computed tomography) scan uses special X-ray equipment to take multiple images from different angles around the body. A computer then processes the information from the images and produces an image that shows a cross section of the area being examined. Description:- Computer Assisted Tomography is a diagnostic test that enables the spinal canal to be imaged and assessed for specific conditions. The scan works by shooting an x-ray beam at 160 points throughout the body and crystals opposite the beam pick up and record the absorption rates of the varying thicknesses of tissue and bone.Koshys Hospital Provide the Best Computer Assisted Tomography.

Digital Radiology Digital radiography  is a form of X-ray imaging, digital X-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. Advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images and less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography.Instead of X-ray film, digital radiography uses a digital image capture device. Digital radiology represent the greatest technological advancement in medical imaging. A digital detector replaces film and screens in digital radiography. There are two basic types of digital radiography systems depending upon the types of detectors used to capture radiographic information: *Computed radiography  systems use a photo-stimulable phosphor  plate enclosed in a light tight cassette. CR utilizes a two-stage process with the image capture and image readout done separately. *Direct Digital Radiography  systems use detectors

ANAL FISTULA What is an anal fistula? It is an abnormal connection between your anal canal (back passage) to the surrounding skin which can happen due to various reson explained below. What causes anal fistula? Most fistulas are caused by simple hair follicle infection which was not treated completely/properly. There are millions of hair follicles in one’s body. Any one of them around anal canal can get infected. Infection is more in people who sit for long time and more so who sit in unhygienic or hot/sweating environment (ex: long distance drivers). When the infection happens and there is pus collection if it is drained appropriately then chances of fistula formation decreases drastically. If pus is not drained then body has to discharge the pus and there are only two directions. If it bursts out of skin and infection gets completely cured then fistula does not form. If it bursts into anal canal then fistula is formed or worst case it bursts into skin but residual
