Credit Hours: Lecture–3; Lab–0, Credits–3 Prerequisite(s): None
Course Description: (3 hours/week X 11 weeks) = 33 hours This course is designed to orient students to the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. This course will also orient students to the levels of organization of the body as well as to the directional and anatomical terms of other relevant organ systems. (The muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems are covered in later courses.) Credit Hours: Lecture–3; Lab–0, Credits–3 Prerequisite(s): None
Course Description: (3 hours/week X 11 weeks) = 33 hours This course expands on the basic concepts learned in EEG Technology I to introduce the advanced concepts of EEG technology. It includes maturation of the EEG, abnormal patterns, and patterns of unknown significance. This course also covers the basic concepts of polarity & localization and filters. Credit Hours: Lecture–3; Lab–0, Credits–3 Prerequisite(s): None
Course Description: (16 hours/week X 11 weeks) = 176 hours This course is a continuation of NDT Clinical Practicum I and will allow you to expand the technical skills and knowledge you gained in Level I. This course provides ongoing clinical instruction and an evaluation method for students to demonstrate clinical competency for EEG procedures. Students will learn ACNS Guidelines for more complex EEG recordings, such as cerebral brain death studies and pediatric PENNSYLVANIA INTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY | COLLEGE CATALOG 2026-2027 169
Course Description: (3 hours/week X 11 weeks) = 33 hours This course provides detailed information about the neurological examination and specific neurological diseases processes relevant to the field of Neurodiagnostics. Students will gain knowledge of specific neurological disease processes such as: Epilepsy & seizures, epileptic syndromes, cerebrovascular diseases, dementia, syncope, coma, congenital and developmental disorders, CNS infections, psychiatric and psychological disorders, movement disorders, headache. Several sessions will focus on related anatomy and pathology to correlate clinical findings and NDT test results. Credit Hours: Lecture–3; Lab–0, Credits–3 Prerequisite(s): None
Course Description: (3 hours/week X 11 weeks) = 33 hours This course is designed to provide students with information regarding EP instrumentation and the basic clinical and technical concepts of visual, auditory and somatosensory evoked potentials. Participants will learn the recommended standards for montage and parameter selection, waveform identification and the criteria for clinically significant abnormalities as well as the applicable graduate competencies for evoked potentials. In addition, the second half of this course is designed to prepare students for the duties involved in performing Polysomnography testing procedures. This course will introduce students to the basic clinical and technical components of all night sleep studies, multiple sleep latency tests and maintenance of wakefulness tests. This course also provides basic introductory instruction about normal sleep architecture, PSG electrode application/hook-up, and recording. Credit Hours: Lecture–3; Lab–0, Credits–3 Prerequisite(s): None
Course Description: (3 hours/week X 11 weeks) = 33 hours This course provides ongoing clinical instruction and an evaluation method for students to demonstrate clinical competency for electroencephalogram (EEG) procedures and advanced monitoring. During this semester the students will apply critical thinking skills to distinguish the monitoring techniques in the operating room, nerve conduction lab and long term monitoring environment. During clinical rotations the students will generate a hypothesis based on the evidence of the data of the history and technologist’s assessment of the patient. This course introduces the students to advanced monitoring techniques performed in the Epilepsy monitoring unit, Neonatal and Adult Intensive Care Units, as well as multiple procedures performed in the operating room. Credit Hours: Lecture–3; Lab–0, Credits–3 Prerequisite(s): None
Course Description: (3 hours/week X 11 weeks) = 33 hours This course provides ongoing clinical instruction and an evaluation method for students to demonstrate clinical competency for EEG procedures, as well as apply skills learned in NDT 201, Evoked Potentials and Polysomnography to the clinical environment. Students will be introduced to the basic concepts involved in Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS). Topics will include pertinent anatomy and physiology, instruction in the recording and stimulation parameters associated with obtaining routine nerve conduction studies, troubleshooting techniques, and discussion of neuromuscular disease processes. Additionally, students will learn in detail about seizure classification and epileptic syndromes. This course will also focus on EEG interpretation as associated with seizure disorders, epileptiform abnormalities, and artifact recognition. This will be in conjunction with an introduction to the advanced EEG practice of Long-Term Monitoring (LTM.)

Course Description: (16 hrs./week X 11 weeks) = 1 hour This course provides ongoing instruction and an evaluation method for students to demonstrate clinical competency for EEG procedures. This course is a continuation of EEG Clinical Practicum III and will allow the students to expand the technical skills and knowledge they have previously gained and pursue additional clinical experience in the field of choice. Students will also learn the indications for long-term monitoring for epilepsy and basic seizure management and precautions. There will be a review of basic LTM procedures including ambulatory EEG, monitoring with surface leads and intracerebral leads using video/EEG, continuous EEG, and intensive care monitoring. Finally, an introduction to intra-operative neurophysiologic monitoring will be provided. Students may select a specialized rotation in EEG, IONM, NCS and/or LTM. This course will give students the opportunity to integrate what is being learned in other course areas into the clinical spectrum. They will be given the opportunity to observe and work with physicians in the clinical setting. Students will also begin organized board review sessions to help prepare for the written ABRET exam.
