Atlas of EEG and Seizure Semiology-Textbook with DVD

Description
This clinical atlas consists of both a DVD and companion text that
cover basic classifications and definitions of seizures and epilepsy,
EEG technology and clinical EEG before proceeding to the key content
of EEG traces and video samples. The DVD allows you to view the EEG
tracing in action, with a side-by-side video of a patient during the
ictal phase. The accompanying text concisely covers the key
principles, scope, limitations, diagnostic importance, and prognostic
relevance for each interpretation.


Key Features

*DVD allows viewing of EEG tracing in action ?during the seizure ?
alongside video of patient during inter-ictal phase (while seizure is
occurring)

*Adult and pediatric patients

*Emphasizes the clinical applications of EEG and its diagnostic
capabilities.

*Edited and written by experts who discuss the principles, scope,
limitations, diagnostic importance, prognostic relevance, and
complications for each interpretation
