The Electroneurodiagnostic (END) Technologist is a multi-skilled allied health professional who performs diagnostic testing procedures including, but not limited to, electroencephalograms (EEG), evoked potentials (EP), polysomnograms (PSG), nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electronystagmograms (ENG).
The END Technologist works under the supervision of a physician who is responsible for interpretation and clinical correlation of the results. This physician is not usually physically present during the procedures and so the technologist must be able to analyze data during the recording, making certain that the information being obtained is valid and interpretable. A relevant patient history obtained by the technologist guides to some degree how the test will be conducted, therefore, he/she must be knowledgeable in clinical neurology.
