I Have An External Neurolace/neurochip In My Brain, How Do
Question: I have an external neurolace/neurochip in my brain, How do I detect it... I have already had an XXXXXXX that said my articular disc on the right was blocked, but other than that I was healthy, and a ct scan.... I have constant involuntary movements, pain/soreness in the head, twitches, and more. the main question... HOW DO You detect a neurochip/neurolace placed within a human brain?
MRI, misspell not XXXXXXX MRI
Brief Answer:
XRay, CT or MRI
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for using "Ask a doctor" service.
Depends a lot on the material that the chip is composed.
If it has any component in metal, an xRay should be enough to make it visible.
CT should detect any material that is hard like bone or plastic or metal.
MRI is very good for soft tissues.
I think that the MRI and CT should be enough to detect what you suspect you have.
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards, Dr. Klarida Papaqako, General and Family physician.

what about a pet scan?
Would a pet scan identify an external device that is super small?
Brief Answer:
Most probably not because pet scan measurures production or changes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the follow up question.
Again it depends on the material that the chip has and how it is working in the human body.
I think that the pet scan most probably would not detect a chip which is not active producing something or interacting with a human organ. Because pet scan would measure blood flow, oxygen use, how your body uses sugar and all stuff like these. But again I don't know if the divice you think you may have in your body is producing some hormon, or changes other organs production.
Kind regards,

what would an eeg do?
Brief Answer:
EEG would not help much.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
An EEG measures the electrical waves of the brain. For example records when you are sleeping different waves, when you think different ones and when you blink your eyes different. I guess if the chip would be an electrical device can change the brain waves. But that again can be from other most probable causes so I would not say that EEG is a good examination to identify a chip in the brain.
