Overview

In neurological functional diagnostics, medical technologists for functional diagnostics examine the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous system. Their procedures include EEG, evoked potentials, nerve conduction studies, MEP, reflex testing and ultrasound of the brain-supplying vessels, partly also intraoperative neuromonitoring. They plan, prepare and independently perform examinations in patients of all ages. During the examination they check results for plausibility, provide a preliminary assessment if needed and adapt the procedure. They assure the quality of examination processes and recognise emergencies in order to initiate the necessary measures.

Frequently asked questions

Who prepares and performs an EEG?

Medical technologists for functional diagnostics plan, prepare and independently perform neurological function tests such as EEG on a physician's order.

Can they judge during the measurement whether the data are usable?

Yes, they check plausibility during the examination, provide a preliminary assessment if needed and adapt the procedure.

Which procedures besides EEG are part of the work?

Evoked potentials, nerve conduction studies, MEP, reflex testing, ultrasound of brain-supplying vessels and intraoperative monitoring are named.

Are children among the patients?

Yes, examinations cover patients of all ages.
