The Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory is fully equipped for electroencephalography (EEG) [including ambulatory studies], electromyography
(EMG) and nerve conduction studies, single fiber electromyography, quantitative motor unit counting, and quantitative sensory threshold determination. The department annually performs about 1,600 EEGs (including
polysomnograms), 500 evoked potentials and 1,200 EMGs and nerve conduction studies. The neurology program sponsors a fourth year of neurology training in clinical
neurophysiology. The directors of the EEG, VT
Regional Sleep Center, and EMG laboratories are specialty board certified neurologists. The department also has access to facilities for non-invasive carotid and vertebrobasilar blood flow studies, including transcranial doppler studies.
The neuro-radiological facility includes two GE MRI scanner, two rapid CT scanners, one SPECT scanner as well as standard equipment for myelography and
