Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most common methodology used to evaluate a patient for epilepsy is EEG (Electroencephalogram). EEG records the electrical activity of the brain and is used to detect abnormal brain activity that is often associated with epileptic seizures. MRI and CT scans may also be used to identify any underlying brain abnormalities that may be causing the seizures, but EEG is more commonly used for diagnosis and monitoring of epilepsy. CANTAB (Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery) is a computerized test battery used to assess cognitive function and is not typically used for epilepsy evaluation.
