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. These
services are available to outpatients on a referral basis, as well
as to inpatients.
Neurophysiology includes four specialized areas of testing and
treatment:
Technologists perform electroencephalograph, intraoperative
evoked potential monitoring and long-term video EEG monitoring during the day.
Polysomnogram (sleep test) studies are performed on the night
shift. Emergency 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, polysomnography, multiple sleep
latency testing, long-term video EEG monitoring, WADA (intracarotid
amobarbital injection) testing and
brain mapping.
The Neurophysiology department works closely with clinics throughout
the hospital, particularly:
