|
Relate the development of the study of evoked potentials (evoked
responses, EP) from research to a clinical modality and compare EP to
clinical electroneurodiagnostic technology (EEG). (I)
|
| 2.
|
Describe the current uses of evoked potentials in a clinical setting.
(II)
|
| 3.
|
Diagram the concept of signal averaging. (III)
|
| 4.
|
Prepare a ratio problem illustrating the concept of the signal to
noise ration (S/N). (III)
|
| 5.
|
Describe the concept of common mode rejection. (III)
|
| 6.
|
List the parameters used in selecting the specific evoked potential
tests for diagnosis of a particular clinical problem. (IV)
|
| 7.
|
Demonstrate the selection of recording sites appropriate for these
tests: Brain Auditory Evoked Response (BAER), Visual Evoked Response
(VER), Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP), and Electrical Retirial
Evoked Response (ERG). (V)
|
| 8.
|
Describe the location of the neurological "generators" of the BAER
including their waveforms. (VI)
|
| 9.
|
Describe the various stimuli used in these EP tests: BAER, VER, and
SSEP. (VII, VIII)
|
| 10.
|
Identify commonly encountered sources of artifacts and possible means
of their rejection from data used for analysis. (IX, X)
|
| 11.
|
List specific diseases that may be identified by these EP tests: BAER,
VER, SSEP, and ERG, and state why each test is appropriate for that
disease. (XI)
|
| 12.
|
Review all literature provided. (XII)
|
| 13.
|
Prepare, perform and complete BAER, VER, and SSEP tests on a volunteer
patient. (XIII)
