- NeurologyAt Long Island Neurology Consultants, you’ll be treated with care, dignity, and respect by board-certified neurologists who work with you.
- Ultrasound(Carotid Ultrasound) is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the carotid arteries for increased stroke risk. Ultrasound is widely used and captures images in real-time. This non-invasive test is performed by our registered vascular technologist. The patient sits in a reclining chair while the technologist applies a gel to a flat probe moving up and down the neck, taking images of the carotid arteries along the way. The procedure averages about 30 minutes.
- MRIMRA is a testing modality that is utilized to image arteries. From a patient standpoint, it is very similar to having an MRI. MRA does NOT expose a patient to radiation. In most cases, contrast is not needed. MRA can provide more specific information about the vascular system than other testing modalities including computer tomography (CT), X-ray, and ultrasound. In neurology, we use
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyMRI is a testing modality that uses pulses of energy and magnetic fields to image the body. MRI is highly sensitive and can provide more specific information regarding the nervous system than other testing modalities such as ultrasound, X-ray, or computed tomography (CT). Please note, MRI does NOT expose a patient to radiation. In neurology, we use MRI most commonly to look at detailed anatomy of the brain and spinal cord.
