Department of Neurodiagnostics
The Neurodiagnostic Department at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is committed to provide Neurodiagnostic testing which includes routine electroencephalograms, video ambulatory studies, evoked Potentials and long-term monitoring studies to detect neurological abnormalities in children. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a neurophysiologic technique primarily used in the evaluation of epilepsy (or possible epilepsy), but it may also be recommended for headaches, behavioral disturbances, attention disorders, learning problems, language delay, developmental delay, fainting spells, and strokes.
