Neurophysiology

The neurophysiology department at Delnor provides a full spectrum of diagnostic neurophysiologic testing such as EEGs and ambulatory EEGs for adults and children undergoing neurologic evaluations.

Diagnostic Services

We perform diagnostic tests, which evaluate when irregular brain activities are occurring.  They following diagnostic tests are performed at Delnor:

• Electroencephalography (EEG) – This is the examination of spontaneous brain activity  
• Ambulatory EEGS (with and without video) – This test may be ordered by your physician for you to be able to undergo at home and it will record brain activity up to 72 hours.  The video enables the physician to visually see what is happening when there is an irregularity

The Results

As a group, these studies evaluate the physiology or general fuction of particular parts of the nervous system. In this respect, they differ from MRI, CT, and related test, which examine the structure (anatomy, or what it looks like) of the nervous system.  Conditions in which physiological testing is useful include (but are not limited to) epilepsy and seizures, sleep disorders, disorders of nerve, muscle, and movement, multiple sclerosis and related conditions.
