The Neurophysiology Department provides a wide range of specialized tests and consultative services essential to the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders and sleep disorders. Neurophysiology includes five specialized areas of testing and treatment:
- The EEG lab (electroencephalography)
- Intraoperative monitoring
- Sleep Center (sleep analysis and clinical sleep health education)
- Comprehensive Epilepsy Center
- Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
Technologists perform multiple sleep latency tests, electroencephalograph, intraoperative evoked potential monitoring and long-term video EEG monitoring during the day.
Sleep studies are performed on the night shift. Emergency EEG testing is available on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through technologists and neurophysiologists.
Diagnostic procedures include:
- Routine and complex EEG
- Ambulatory EEG
- EP (evoked potential)
- Intraoperative monitoring
- Diagnostic & Theraputic Polysomnography
- Home Sleep Apnea Testing
- Actigraphy
- Multiple sleep latency testing
- Long-term video EEG monitoring
- WADA (intracarotid amobarbital injection) testing
- Brain mapping
