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 cerebrum, which is the largest part of the brain, is divided into four areas, or lobes, each of which houses different functions. The cerebrum is also divided into two hemispheres: the right, which helps you think creatively and the left, which helps you think logically. Hence, you have a right-sided frontal lobe and a leftt-sided frontal lobe. Your personality lives in the frontal lobes, where emotions, problem solving, reasoning, planning and other functions are managed. The frontal lobes are linked to sensory and memory centers throughout the brain.
