EEG Interpretation Services

Subspecialized, epilepsy-focused interpretation across every major EEG study type.

Routine EEG

Routine EEG Interpretation

A Routine EEG is a standard, typically 20–40 minute recording of brain electrical activity performed in a clinic, office, or hospital setting. It remains the first-line study for evaluating new-onset seizures, unexplained spells, and for following patients with an established epilepsy diagnosis.

Routine EEG interpretation includes assessment of background rhythm, identification of interictal epileptiform discharges (spikes, sharp waves, spike-and-wave complexes), activation procedures such as hyperventilation and photic stimulation, and correlation with the referring clinical question.

What's Included in the Report

  • Background activity and symmetry
  • Interictal epileptiform findings, if present
  • Response to activation procedures
  • Artifact assessment
  • Clinical impression and correlation with the referral question

What's Included in the Report

  • Event-by-event correlation of clinical behavior with EEG changes
  • Seizure classification and semiology description
  • Ictal onset localization when identifiable
  • Interictal findings across the full recording period
  • Summary impression to guide diagnosis and treatment planning
Long-Term / Video EEG

Long-Term (Video) EEG Monitoring

Long-Term EEG Monitoring, often called Video EEG or LTM, pairs continuous EEG recording with synchronized video over an extended period — typically during an inpatient epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) admission. This allows direct correlation between what a patient experiences physically during an event and what is happening electrically in the brain at that same moment.

This study type is central to distinguishing epileptic seizures from non-epileptic events, localizing seizure onset for surgical candidacy evaluation, and characterizing seizure types to guide medication decisions.

Ambulatory EEG

Ambulatory EEG Interpretation

Ambulatory EEG allows patients to be recorded continuously over one to several days in their normal home or work environment, using a portable recording device. Because it captures real-world activity, sleep, and routine, it is often more likely to capture infrequent events than a brief in-office Routine EEG.

Ambulatory studies are especially useful for patients whose events occur unpredictably, or for those whose typical triggers (sleep deprivation, stress, daily activity) are difficult to reproduce in a clinical setting.

What's Included in the Report

  • Review of the full multi-day recording
  • Identification and characterization of any captured events
  • Interictal findings across varying vigilance states, including sleep
  • Data quality and artifact assessment
  • Clinical impression tailored to the referring question
Rapid Response EEG

Ceribell EEG Interpretation

Ceribell is a point-of-care, rapid response EEG system built for the ICU and emergency department, where a fast answer to "is this a seizure?" matters most. A disposable headband and handheld recorder let bedside staff start recording in minutes with minimal training, streaming EEG data to a cloud-based portal for remote physician review — a workflow that fits naturally with SWAG Health PLLC's remote practice model.

SWAG Health PLLC reads Ceribell studies to help treating teams identify nonconvulsive seizures and status epilepticus quickly, alongside the device's Clarity seizure burden algorithm, with a board-level clinical read layered on top of the automated output rather than relying on the algorithm alone.

What's Included in the Report

  • Assessment for epileptiform abnormalities and seizure activity
  • Clinical correlation with Clarity seizure burden trends
  • Guidance on whether findings support escalation of seizure management
  • Rapid turnaround suited to acute, time-sensitive settings
