Pediatric Neurosciences Technology
Leveraging the Latest Technology in Patient Care
The Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Neurosciences program is using state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment technology to provide better outcomes for our patients.
Treatments and Technology
Treatments
Brain Tumor Surgery
A new high-field strength intraoperative MRI (iMRI) system gives our neurosurgeons important clinical data about the patient’s brain during surgery.
Epilepsy Surgery
A multidisciplinary team reviews every surgical case and makes treatment recommendations from the perspective of each specialty.
Rhizotomy Surgery
Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy reduces abnormally increased muscle tone, which results in reduced spasticity while sensation and strength are spared.
Wada Test
A Wada test enables the clinician to determine cerebral dominance and to evaluate memory function in each hemisphere of a child's brain. |

Technology
iMRI
The iMRI produces high-quality images that allow surgeons to better identify tumors and lesions during surgery.
EEG
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures the electrical activity in the brain, called brain waves.
Dense Array EEG
This diagnosis tool allows physicians to better identify and localize the electrical abnormalities, typically found in patients diagnosed with epilepsy.
fMRI
The fMRI is a technology that takes advantage of measuring functional skills through the use of MRI technology. |
