What is Nerve conduction velocity (NCV)? Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) also called as electroneurography, Energy, or nerve conduction study, a nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test is a measurement of the speed of conduction of an electrical impulse through a nerve. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) can determine nerve damage and destruction. During the test, the nerve…
What is electromyography (EMG)? Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response or electrical activity in reaction to a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle. The test is used to assist detect neuromuscular abnormalities. During the test, one or more little needles (also called electrodes) are inserted through the skin into the muscle. The electrical activity taken up by…
What is pulmonary function tests? Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are noninvasive tests that see how well the lungs are working. The tests count lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, & gas exchange. This information can assist your healthcare provider in diagnosing and deciding the treatment of some lung disorders. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are lung…
