Changing the Future of the Neurodiagnostic Lab Department: The Neurodiagnostic Lab provides a comprehensive battery of inpatient neurological testing procedures at Stanford Health Care.

• Our specialty-trained technologists and board-certified neurologists perform electroneurodiagnostic testing in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU), intensive care units (ICU), operating rooms, and other specialized locations in the hospital.
• We have a premier program in intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM), which was one of the first to obtain formal accreditation nationwide. The comprehensive clinical service is very active, led by a dedicated team of neurologists and technologists that assist in a wide diversity of surgeries for both pediatric and adult populations.
• In addition to EEG and IONM, our technologists perform inpatient EP, EMG, and Transcranial Doppler (TCD)

Be Part of a Tight Knit Team: Our NDL is tight knit, collaborative and supportive. Stanford is a level IV (highest level) epilepsy center, offering new methods of treating and diagnosing epilepsy. The mission is to deliver the best available care and beyond, while pushing the forefronts of epilepsy care beyond the ordinary.

Our specialty-trained technologists and board-certified neurologists perform Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) using a variety of neurophysiologic techniques, including EEG (electroencephalogram), SSEPs (somatosensory evoked potentials), EMG (electromyography), and transcranial motor evoked potentials (tcMEPs) testing.

The NDL department allows staff the ability to learn a wide variety of procedures and techniques including:

• EEG
• IONM
• EP
• TCD
• EMG
