Types of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring

In order to preserve brain function during surgery, the neurosurgeon will use advanced intraoperative neurophysiological testing, such as:

• Intraoperative MRI
• Intraoperative brain mapping (awake brain surgery)
• Image-guided stereotactic surgery

Types of intraoperative monitoring:

• Sub-sensory evoked potentials
• Motor-sensory evoked potentials
  • Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP)
  • Visual evoked potentials (VEP)
  • Somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEP)
• Mapping for motor-cortex
