A magnetoencephalography, or MEG, scan is a non-invasive test that maps magnetic fields produced by your brain’s electrical activity. A MEG scan shows areas of normal and abnormal activity to help with treatment planning, especially surgery.
Using a MEG scan, consultants can pinpoint the exact locations in the brain where seizures or other conditions occur. They can also identify areas to avoid during surgery, where important functions such as memory, language, muscle movements and the five senses are located.
Our neurosurgeons use MEG to plan more precise surgeries that target the treatment areas while avoiding healthy brain tissue.
