Diagnosis of Spine Diseases in Israel

The neurosurgery and orthopedics departments of Top Ihilov Clinic are equipped with the most modern high-precision medical equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the brain and spine.

At Top Ihilov Clinic, the best specialists in Israel in the field of diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgical diseases conduct the following studies:

• Lumbar Puncture — a puncture in the lumbar region (usually in the interval between the spinous processes of the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae) for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
• Computed Tomography (CT) — a non-destructive layered study of the internal structure of an object, allowing for the diagnosis of cortical atrophy, hydrocephalus, tumour processes, and many other pathologies of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) — one of the most modern and informative methods, allows for obtaining images of nerve structures with extraordinarily high resolution without risks of complications for the patient.
• Positron Emission Tomography — the basis of the method is the ability to track the distribution of biologically active compounds in the body using special equipment (PET scanner) and provides important information in cases of brain tumours, strokes, and epilepsy.
• Myelography — a radiological method for studying the spinal cord using contrast agents, allowing for the diagnosis of disc herniations, tumours of the spinal canal, and arachnoiditis.
• Electromyography (EMG) — recording of the bioelectrical activity of muscles, allowing for the determination of the state of the neuromuscular system.

In addition, a wide range of laboratory diagnostic methods is at your service.
