Activation mapping
Activation mapping is a cardiac electrophysiology technique that records local activation times at many heart sites, displaying them as a 3D color-coded map to guide ablation.
Autorefraction
Autorefraction is an ophthalmic examination method in which an instrument called an autorefractor objectively measures a person's refractive error and estimates the spectacle prescription without subjective responses.
Cardiac Electrophysiologic Techniques
Cardiac electrophysiologic techniques trigger and record the heart's electrical activity at specific sites to diagnose and treat rhythm disorders, using electrode catheters for pacing, programmed stimulation, and mapping before ablation.
Central Sensitization Inventory
The Central Sensitization Inventory is a two-part self-report questionnaire introduced in 2011 that screens for symptoms of central sensitization in chronic pain practice and research.
Comprehensive geriatric assessment
Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multidimensional, interdisciplinary diagnostic process that assesses frail older people's medical, psychological, and functional capability to build a coordinated care plan.
Lesion-symptom mapping
Lesion-symptom mapping (LSM) is a neuropsychological analysis method that statistically relates the locations of brain lesions, usually from stroke, to behavioral deficits, identifying which brain regions support specific cognitive functions.
Mechanomyography
Mechanomyography (MMG) is a noninvasive technique that records the low-frequency vibrations and sounds produced by contracting skeletal muscle, serving as the mechanical counterpart of electromyography (EMG) for assessing fatigue, strength, and balance.
Postpartum depression screening
Postpartum depression screening uses brief validated questionnaires, most often the 10-item Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), to identify probable depression after childbirth and trigger further assessment.
Repetitive nerve stimulation
Repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) is a neurophysiological test that repeatedly stimulates a motor nerve and records muscle responses, used chiefly to diagnose myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.
Steady-state visually evoked potential
The steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) is the brain's periodic electrical response to a flickering visual stimulus, recorded from the scalp and easy to isolate in the frequency domain.
