Electroneurodiagnostic Training Programs
Employment opportunities for Electroneurodiagnostic and Polysomnography Technologists are expected to grow faster than average with the U.S. Department of Labor predicting an increase of 21% – 35% over the next ten years. The rapidly growing elderly population is one reason for this growth with increased demand for highly trained individuals to operate the latest high-tech equipment. Take a look at our career development programs offered by Alpha Neuroscience Institute to see which program is right for you. Electroencephalography / Nerve Conduction Study Technology Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring Technology
A neurodiagnostic technologist performs non-invasive (with the exception of intra operative monitoring) diagnostic procedures on patient’s nervous system. Most often it is electroencephalography (EEG), which measures the electrical activity of the brain. The technologists will also perform evoked potentials (EP) diagnosing irregularities and disturbances in the visual, auditory and somatosensory pathways. Another popular testing area involves study of peripheral nervous system called nerve conduction study. Technologists test neuropathies, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, isolating sources of numbness, burning sensation, loss of limb function. Other diagnostic procedures may include brain mapping prior to surgery, surgical monitoring, telemetry and ambulatory recording, polysomnography and more. It is possible to combine the related neurodiagnostic fields such as polysomnography and EEG with other programs to create multi-specialty promoting rapid work related advancement.
