Epilepsy research

Continuous electroencephalogram (cEEG) recordings are being increasingly used in intensive care units (ICUs) to detect epileptic seizures and other changes. MRI scans can interrupt such recordings if the EEG electrodes need to be removed and important data can be missed. ⋯ A significant proportion of patients undergoing MRI scans with the MRI-compatible EEG electrodes had seizures that would have been missed if the MRI-incompatible EEG electrodes had been used.
