Department of Neurodiagnostics
The Neurodiagnostic Department at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provides neurodiagnostic testing which includes routine electroencephalograms (EEGs), video ambulatory EEG studies, evoked potentials, and long-term EEG monitoring studies in our Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) and intensive care units. An EEG is a neurophysiologic technique primarily used in the evaluation of epilepsy (or possible epilepsy), but it may also be recommended other conditions.
