The dye used for echo is different from the dye used during angiography (a test used to examine the body's blood vessels). For most types of echo, you will remove your clothing from the waist up. Women will be given a gown to wear during the test. You'll lie on your back or left side on an exam table or stretcher.
In case youâre like me and canât get your head on straight about which is which, the left brain is the math/science/logical side and the right brain is the art/music/creative side. Obviously we tend to skew pretty far towards the right-brain around these parts, but we respect all types of brain power and have a special place in our hearts for science and chess.
The left part of the temporal lobe, for example, helps children acquire language. It makes the correlation between sounds heard and things seen or otherwise experienced. The left brain seems to be what side of the brain controls speech in 96% of children. There are creative areas in the brain that put concepts and experiences in different orders to think up new ways to say things. What side of the brain controls speech is not so obvious in this case. Creative thinking is generally thought to be in the right side of the brain, but not in this case. Oral language is spoken first in the mind. This happens especially when you rehearse a speech, or think in words about something.
