神经诊断技术艺术副学士

神经诊断技术员（NDT）操作复杂的设备，可显示大脑和神经系统的电活动。ND技术人员与解释数据并提供临床印象的医生一起工作。ND是一个多元化的领域，包括脑电图，神经传导研究，术中监测，长期癫痫监测，多导睡眠图（睡眠障碍研究）和诱发电位。ND技术人员通常在医院或临床环境中工作，为患者准备手术，记录电势，获取病史以及校准和维护设备。
The neurodiagnostic technologist (NDT) operates sophisticated equipment that displays the electrical activity of the brain and nervous system. The ND technologist works alongside physicians who interpret the data and provide clinical impressions. ND is a diverse field that includes electroencephalography, nerve conduction studies, intraoperative monitoring, long-term epilepsy monitoring, polysomnography (sleep disorder studies), and evoked potential. Generally working in a hospital or clinical setting, ND technologists prepare patients for procedures, record electrical potentials, obtain medical histories, and calibrate and maintain equipment.<br><br>Learning Outcomes<br>Degree recipients should possess the skills & abilities described below:<br><br>Interpret accurate, diagnostically acceptable ND tests in hospital or clinical laboratories<br>Apply neuroscience to ND recordings and diagnosis of disease conditions<br>Interpret the electrical display of EEG-PSG-EP recordings<br>Practice patient-centered care in accordance with the ethical and legal framework of the NDT<br>Collaborate as a member of the health care team to ensure clinical effectiveness<br>Evaluate ND tests (i.e., intraoperative monitoring, nerve conduction studies, ambulatory recordings, long-term video, EEG monitoring)<br>Operate ND diagnostic instrumentation<br>Prepare written summary reports for the neurologist
