Electrodiagnosis (EDX) is a method of medical diagnosis that obtains information about diseases by passively recording the electrical activity of body parts (that is, their natural electrophysiology) or by measuring their response to external electrical stimuli (evoked potentials).
Apr 11, 2022 · The term electrosurgery refers to the use of high frequency, alternating electric current to produce heating in tissue. The heating can be used to achieve a desired tissue effect such as cutting, tissue ablation, desiccation, or a combination of effects. 1 Electrosurgical units are commonly used in Gastroenterology, General Surgery, Ob-Gyn, ENT ...
Feb 24, 2012 · Biomedical instrumentation applies engineering and technology to solve medical problems in diagnosis, treatment, and disease prevention. The field combines principles of biophysics and biochemistry—where physics and chemistry meet biology—with medical and engineering practices.
Apr 2, 2024 · An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a quick test to check the heartbeat. It records the electrical signals in the heart. Test results can help diagnose heart attacks and irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias. ECG machines can be found in medical offices, hospitals, operating rooms and ambulances. Some personal devices, such as smartwatches ...
Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle. The test is used to help detect neuromuscular abnormalities. During the test, one or more small needles (also called electrodes) are inserted through the skin into the muscle.
Nov 21, 2023 · Electrophysiology (EP) is a subject within cardiology that analyzes your heart’s electrical signals to diagnose and treat abnormal heart rhythms ( arrhythmias ). Your healthcare provider uses cardiac catheters (small tubes) and computers to make electrocardiogram (EKG) tracings and electrical measurements from inside your heart.
May 21, 2019 · Overview. Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission. Motor neurons transmit electrical signals that cause muscles to contract.
