Also, it is one of the few level 4 epilepsy surgery centres in India that performs complex epilepsy surgeries in patients with MRI negative epilepsy (patients with uncontrolled epilepsy and normal MRI scans) using latest stereo-EEG techniques. Latest technology is used to localise seizure focus precisely during stereo-EEG monitoring wherein thin wire like electrodes are implanted into the brain to study the seizure networks. Ours is the busiest epilepsy monitoring unit in Chennai, doing round the clock long term video- EEG for monitoring of seizures.
Chennai gets its first wide-bore Silent Scan MRI. New technology (MAGiC) can reduce scan time by as much as 67%
