Purpose
Routine EEG provides a focused snapshot of cortical electrical activity, helping referring providers evaluate seizures, unexplained spells, headaches, syncope, altered mental status, and post-event monitoring needs.
Typical duration
Studies generally take 20–40 minutes, including hyperventilation and photic stimulation when clinically appropriate. The full appointment, including set-up and patient education, usually runs 45–60 minutes.
Who benefits
Adult and pediatric patients referred by neurologists, primary care physicians, hospitals, and specialty practices for suspected seizure activity or non-specific neurological symptoms.
Common conditions evaluated
- Suspected seizures or epilepsy
- Loss of consciousness / syncope
- Chronic headaches
- Altered mental status
- Encephalopathy screening
- Post-stroke or post-TBI follow-up
Reporting
Studies are quality-checked and securely transmitted for interpretation. Professional reports are typically delivered to the referring provider within 5–7 business days, with expedited turnaround available when clinically warranted.
