Accurate diagnosis of complex epilepsy

The latest high-resolution imaging techniques allow us to achieve a fast and highly accurate diagnosis, even in the most complex cases. For example: Video-EEG, 3-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging, PET-MRI and PET-CT.

Prolonged Epilepsy Monitoring with Video-EEG

Monitorización prolongada de Epilepsia con Vídeo-EEG

Available in phase 2 of opening

We are the only private centre in the Valencian Community that monitors patients using this minimally invasive 5-day diagnostic technique, which allows us to diagnose drug-resistant epilepsies more accurately.

We monitor the brain’s electrical activity while analysing the patient’s clinical behaviour with the medication withdrawn, through continuous video recording.

In the room specifically designed for this test, we ensure the patient’s safety and comfort throughout the entire process.
