EMG and NCT testing

Via back elevators, 1th floor

About the test

EMG (Electromyography) testing is an important auxiliary tool for diagnosing diseases of the Peripheral Nervous System and the Muscular System. The process consists of two tests:

NCT (Nerve Conduction Test): Sensory and motor conduction velocity test of limb nerves.
EMG (Electromyography): The test is performed by inserting a fine needle into several muscles to examine muscle activity at rest, during mild activity, and during intense activity.

Patient Information

On the day of the examination, do not apply cream to the limbs being tested. Please inform the laboratory if the patient has a pacemaker.

In patients with limb edema or significant skin changes affecting the limbs, nerve conduction studies, particularly sensory nerve conduction studies, may not be performed.

Important to know

The hospital is independent of the HMO, and members of all HMOs are accepted there.

As part of the agreements with Clalit and Leumit HMOs, Forms 17 will be given to the outpatient clinics, or a payment will be made according to the hospital's price list.
