Brain Mapping Instruments Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast to 2020

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/24/2014 -- Brain mapping is a technique used to determine the structure and function of different region of brain. Brain mapping is a recording of brain wave. Brain mapping helps surgeons in identifying brain areas responsible for critical functions of the body such as movement, vision, sensation and speech. Brain mapping helps in detection of various abnormalities such as tumor, seizures, toxic injury, Alzheimer diseases, infection and others abnormalities. Brain mapping also helps in identifying external environment which changes brain structure and reason of mental illness and brain diseases. Brain mapping also recognize physical injury to the brain such as concussion. Brain mapping is done through stimulation of certain brain areas that have language, motor, sensory and visual function. Some of the brains mapping instruments are computed tomography, positron emission tomography, electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, near infrared spectroscopy, and functional magnetic resonance imaging. These techniques help in measuring cerebral blood flow, metabolism and structural integrity of brain. These techniques help doctors to view problems within human brain without invasive neurosurgery. Brain mapping is performed in two ways including two stage procedures and directly during surgery. Brain mapping which are done during surgery is also known as intraoperative brain mapping as it occur during operation. The brain mapping procedure time depends upon targeted brain tissues for surgery and locations of surgery. Brain mapping can be customized depending on the situation and requirement.
