Neurodiagnostic Technologist (EEG)
Become A Neurodiagnostic Technologist
EEG identifies electrical activity in the brain that aids in the diagnosis and treatment of headaches, seizures, strokes, and comas. An EEG technician places electrodes to cranial surfaces and records an electroencephalogram. Upon completion of the EEG program, students will be eligible to sit for the American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists (ABRET) exam.
Neurodiagnostic Technologist Duties
- Indicate artifacts or interferences derived from sources outside of the brain, such as poor electrode contact or patient movement, on electroneurodiagnostic recordings.
- Monitor patients during tests or surgeries, using electroencephalographs (EEG), evoked potential (EP) instruments, or video recording equipment.
- Conduct tests or studies such as electroencephalography (EEG), polysomnography (PSG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and intraoperative monitoring (IOM).
- Collect patients’ medical information needed to customize tests.
- Explain testing procedures to patients, answering questions or reassuring patients, as needed.
