Services 

The EEG Department and Epilepsy Unit at LHSC is a service department providing technical and clinical assistance to the medical and surgical staff in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and related disorders.

The functions of the department include non-invasive studies such as routine and portable EEGs, sleep EEGs, telemetered/long-term EEGs, evoked potentials, computer assisted analysis of EEGs, EEGs during surgery and other specialised procedures as requested. The department also provides invasive (subdural) EEG recordings for patients with epilepsy.

These procedures are performed by highly trained staff that includes registered technologists and computer system analysts, with extensive experience in all phases of Neurodiagnostics.

ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM (EEG)
A record of the electrical activity of the brain, obtained by means of electrodes placed on the scalp. The EEG is most useful in the investigation and management of epilepsy. However, it is also useful as a noninvasive means of localizing structural abnormalities. Other neurological disorders can produce characteristic EEG abnormalities that can help to suggest, establish or support specific diagnosis.
