Electrodiagnostic Lab Technicians

CNS Neurodiagnostics utilizes Board Certified, Board Eligible, and Specially Trained Electrodiagnostic Technologists. These professionals specialize in Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) - a recording of electrical potentials from the peripheral nerves and Electroencephalogram (EEG) - a recording of the electrical activity of the brainwaves on a graph or computer.

Tech Staff

Electrodiagnostic Technologists are responsible for the following:

  • Taking medical histories and preparing the patient for the test
  • Explaining the procedure to the patient
  • Positioning the patient to ensure adequate accessibility and patient comfort
  • Applying EEG electrodes to the patient's head with adhesive paste
  • Making notes on the recorded graph to identify interferences such as poor electrode contact or patient movement during EEG
  • Recognizing, identifying and resolving artifact, and determining whether physiologic, non-physiologic
  • Monitoring the patient during the EEG procedure and responding to medical emergencies such as convulsive seizures
  • Maintaining the diagnostic equipment to ensure accurate testing and diagnosis
  • Removes recording electrodes and cleans electrode and stimulation sites according to recommended established guidelines
  • To understand the physiology of the study being performed
  • Determine stimulation intensity to produce the proper waveforms
  • Adequately warming the patient limb
  • ...and much more
