PATHOLOGY LABORATORY TECHNIQUES

Electroneurophysiology (ENP) technologists measure the electrical activity of the brain (EEG) and nerves (EMG/NCS) using neurodiagnostic testing equipment. In addition to operating and maintaining equipment, ENP technologists work with physicians who interpret the test results. ENP technologists may be responsible for tests including Nerve Conduction Studies, and they assist the physician with Electromyography (EMG), Electroencephalography (EEG), and Evoked Potentials (EP). EMG’s are conducted to determine the existence of muscle and nerve damage. EEG’s are useful in diagnosing seizures and epilepsy, strokes and bleeding in the brain, degenerative brain disease, and brain infections.

Today, neurology has a very wide spectrum. In addition to important laboratory findings in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, dementia, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and Parkinson's, it also requires multidisciplinary work with many medical branches. In the near future, a better understanding of the nervous system will be achieved by using brain mapping technologies.

Associate available in all health departments are switching facilities.

It is recommended that candidates who are patient, careful, love to help people, empathize, have the desire to learn and have communication skills should prefer the Electroneurophysiology program.
