Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test used to gain information about the functioning of peripheral nerves in the arms and the legs. This test takes from 15 minutes to one hour, depending on how many areas are being tested.
Our MRI department provides services to more than 250 patients each month, and has recently achieved 3-year accreditation as a result of a recent rigorous survey by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
