Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve conduction velocity is a diagnostic test that measures how fast an impulse travels along a nerve. Lumbar puncture is a test that involves taking a sample of cerebrospinal fluid for examination. Positron emission tomography and cerebral angiography are tests that image the brain and its blood vessels, respectively, and do not measure nerve conduction velocity.
