EEG (electroencephalographia)
De hoc experimento
Electroencephalographica (EEG) est examen quod activitatem electricalem in cerebro metitur. Hoc examen etiam EEG appellatur. Examen parvis, metallicis discus, qui electrodi appellantur, utitur, qui cuti capitis adhaerent. Cellulae cerebrales impulsibus electricis communicant, et haec activitates ut lineae fluctuosae in recordatione EEG apparent. Cellulae cerebrales semper activa sunt, etiam dormiendo.
Cur id fiat
EEG mutationes in activitate cerebri invenire potest quae adiuvare possent in diagnosticis condicionibus cerebri, praesertim epilepsia vel alia condicio conuulsionis. EEG etiam adiuvare potest in diagnosticis vel curandis: Tumores cerebri. Damnum cerebri ex vulnere capitis. Morbus cerebri qui diversas causas habere potest, notus ut encephalopathia. Inflammatio cerebri, ut encephalitis herpetica. Ictus. Conditiones somni. Morbus Creutzfeldt-Jakob. EEG etiam ad mortem cerebri confirmandam in aliquo in coma adhiberi potest. EEG continuus adhibentur ad adiuvandum in inveniendo iusto gradu anesthesiae alicui in coma medicate inducta.
Pericula et implicationes
EEG tutum et sine dolore est. Interdum, convulsiones in hominibus epilepticis durante examinatione voluntarie excitantur, sed cura medica apta, si opus est, praebetur.
Quomodo parare

Doctors trained to analyze EEGs interpret the recording and send the results to the healthcare professional who ordered the EEG. You might need to schedule an office appointment to discuss the results of the test. If possible, bring along a family member or friend to the appointment to help you remember the information you're given. Write down questions to ask your healthcare professional, such as: Based on the results, what are my next steps? What follow-up, if any, do I need? Are there factors that might have affected the results of this test in some way? Will I need to repeat the test?
