First patient undergoes functional scan on new TRIUX neo MEG
The Neuroscience Institute has begun using the new TRIUX™ neo MEG to locate seizure foci and functional mapping.
Connor, one of the first patients to undergo this new brain scanning technology, has a history of intractable localization related to epilepsy. With the MEG, neuroscientist Roozbeh Rezaie, PhD, was able to approximate where his seizures originated and map the regions which control sensation and language. Epileptologists used MEG findings in combination with other diagnostic tests to determine the optimal treatment approaches for controlling Connor’s seizures.
The new MEG provides several advantages for neurologists and neurosurgeons. In addition to the large number of sensors and advanced aspects that improve accuracy, mitigate operating costs and suppress noise, the TRIUX™ neo MEG can be utilized to scan patients who were previously unable to undergo testing with MEG due to implanted medical devices.
