  Electroencephalography Devices are devices that measure brain activity from the point of view of the EEG camera. It can be used in a variety of medical and non-medical applications. It is quite interesting to note that these types of equipment have found applications in several domains. The applications of electroencephalography devices are manifold. This equipment is also useful in clinical and research settings. In the clinical environment, it has helped in the fast diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. This technology has also proved extremely helpful in providing fast action for various diseases like stroke, brain tumor, aneurysm, neck pain, etc. In research settings, these Electroencephalography Devices have been very helpful in detecting the abnormalities in the functioning of the human brain during brain imaging studies. Similarly, applications of these types of equipment in anesthesia monitoring and disease diagnosis have yielded tremendous ...

Specific Aneurysm Clips Made From Stainless Steel Alloy Unsafe For Patients in MR Environment

  Clipping is a surgery performed to treat an aneurysm, a ballooning and weakened area in an artery. As an aneurysm grows it can become so thin that it leaks or ruptures, releasing blood into the spaces around the brain. Aneurysm Clips are non-ferromagnetic and may be safely exposed to MRI. The clip or clips will stay in place permanently. The clips are supplied sterile and ready to use. There are four major clip designs that are currently available in the market, and these are the McFadden Vari-Angle, Sundt Slim-Line, and Sugita and Yasargil type clips. A small metal clip is used to stop blood flow into the aneurysm during microsurgical clipping. A craniotomy is performed to create an opening in the skull to reach the aneurysm in the brain. Aneurysm Clips are placed on the neck (opening) of the aneurysm to obstruct the flow of blood, and remains inside the brain. A successfully applied clip for a ruptured aneurysm keeps the aneurysm's neck closed, preventing reru...
