Innovative Technology in Neuroscience
When the condition is epilepsy, MEG pinpoints exact seizure onset locations. When surgery is planned, MEG precise brain maps help plot optimum surgical paths, minimizing damage to critical sensory, motor or language-specific cortexes.
The Telemedicine Program at the Mischer Neuroscience Institute is a collaborative network of hospitals working together to deliver the most advanced stroke and neurological care possible to patients. A project of Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, the MNI Telemedicine Program provides 24/7 neurological consultations in our network hospitals, through the use of telemedicine technologies such as digital imaging and real-time video conferencing, provided by the advanced teleconferencing company, InTouch Health.
At the Mischer Neuroscience Institute at Memorial Hermann, neurosurgeons use the Leksell Gamma Knife as an effective treatment modality for abnormalities within the brain. Patients who undergo stereotactic radiosurgery have a greatly reduced incidence of potential complications associated with craniotomy and with other forms of radiation.
