Clinical Use of Evoked Potentials: A Review

  • Chapter
Advanced Evoked Potentials

Part of the book series: Topics in Neurosurgery ((TINS,volume 2))

Abstract

The use of evoked potentials has become widespread in the past ten years. Evoked potentials have probably been obtained in patients with virtually all neurologic diseases. Much has been learned about proper techniques, and the neuropathways involved. Recently, several articles have discussed the use and abuse of evoked potentials in clinical practice [1,2,3,4].
