1 临床脑电图医师的最低资格

该标准适用于1978年以后进入脑电图领域的人员，而不适用于1978年以前进入这一领域且目前正在对脑电图报告进行解释工作的高年资脑电图医师。

1.1 临床脑电图医师应该是一个有资质的内科医师，或是有资质的神经科、小儿神经科、神经外科或精神科医师。

1.2 他们接受的培训应符合美国临床神经生理委员会考试的最低要求。这一资格要求参见网站www.abcn.org。另外美国精神病学与神经病学委员会(ABPN)也为此提供了一个临床神经生理考试的附属专业，这一资质考试的细节参见网站www.abpn.com。

2 神经电诊断技师的资格

2.1 在此指南和相关的组织中已对神经电诊断技师的资格进行了阐述。他们需要在脑电图或诱发电位技术方面进行注册(R.EEG T.，R.EP T.)，注册由美国脑电图和诱发电位技术员委员会(ABRET)来管理，鼓励符合准入水平的技术员参加考试。关于资格考试的信息参见网站www.abret.org。

2.2 技术员绝不应少于6个月在指导下进行的临床实践，随后要接受正规的培训，能在无指导的情况下独立操作。

3 实验室组织

3.1 实验室主任要对所有的实验室全部的操作和规则负主要责任。实验室的规则应该以规章制度和操作手册的形式公布。在脑电图实验室主任的指导下，首席脑电图技师应对日常的实验室操作负责。首席脑电图技师应和实验室主任一起必须保持最高标准的脑电图技术实践。

3.2 所有的脑电图都应由取得资格的脑电图医师来分析，提供正式报告，包括临床解释。即使有相应的资格和良好的经验，在任何情况下技师都不应对脑电图的临床解释负主要责任。然而，有资历的技师可以对记录作出描述性的技术报告。

3.3 应该有条理的储存记录，申请医生和其他有资格的人员应该可以回顾脑电图资料。

4 设备

美国临床神经生理学会医疗仪器委员会和国际临床神经生理联盟应对临床脑电图设备的选择提供基本的技术标准。

4.1 基本的记录设备应符合指南1的要求：临床脑电图操作的最低技术要求和指南8：数字化临床脑电图记录指南。

1. Minimal Qualifications for a Clinical Electroencephalographer

These standards are proposed for individuals entering the EEG field after 1978. Many highly competent electroencephalographers who entered the field before 1978 and currently interpret EEGs do not meet the requirements listed below.

1.1 The clinical electroencephalographer should be a physician with board eligibility or certification in neurology, pediatric neurology, neurosurgery, or psychiatry.

1.2 Training should meet the minimal requirements for examination by the American Board of Clinical Neurophysiology. Their eligibility requirements can be found on their website, www.abcn.org. The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) offers a Subspecialty in Clinical Neurophysiology examination as well. Eligibility details for this examination can be found at www.abpn.com.

2. Qualifications of Electroneurodiagnostic Technologists

2.1 The qualifications of electroneurodiagnostic technologists shall be those set forth in Guidelines from this and allied organizations. Registries in electroencephalographic or evoked potentials technology (R. EEG T., R. EP T.), administered by the American Board of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potentials Technologists (ABRET), are encouraged for entry-level technologists. Eligibility information about these examinations can be found at www.abret.org.

2.2 In no case should a technologist with less than 6 months of supervised clinical experience, following formal training, operate independently or in an unsupervised capacity.

3. Laboratory Organization

3.1 The laboratory director shall have the primary responsibility for the overall operations and policies of the laboratory. The policies of the laboratory should be documented in a policy and procedures manual. Under the supervision of the EEG laboratory director, the chief EEG technologist shall be responsible for the daily operation of the laboratory. The chief technologist, together with the laboratory director, shall maintain the highest standards of EEG technical practice.

3.2 All EEGs should be analyzed by, and official reports, including clinical interpretations, provided by, a qualified electroencephalographer. Under no circumstances should a technologist, however well-qualified and experienced, have primary responsibility for clinical interpretation of EEGs. Qualified technologists, however, should be able to give a descriptive technical report of the record.

3.3 Records should be maintained in an orderly manner and should be available for review by the patient’s referring physician and other qualified persons.

4. Equipment

Technical standards recommended by the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) Medical Instrumentation Committee and the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) should form the basis for selection of clinical EEG equipment.

4.1 Basic recording equipment should conform to the recommendations of Guideline 1: Minimum Technical Requirements for Performing Clinical Electroencephalography and Guideline 8: Guidelines for Recording Clinical EEG on Digital Media.
