Founded in 2006, Advanced Monitoring Services (AMS) has been providing hospitals, surgeons and patients with fully integrated neurodiagnostic care such as surgical feedback through our Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) Services and Electroencephalogram (EEG). IONM is used to monitor the function of nerves, the spinal cord, or the brain throughout surgical procedures. Our purpose in monitoring is to alert the surgeon and anesthesiologist to changes in testing measures throughout surgery to allow for modifications that can prevent damage. EEG, electroencephalogram, is a test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp. Your brain cells communicate through electrical impulses and are always active. This activity appears as wavy lines on an EEG recording. It can determine changes in brain activity that are useful in diagnosing brain disorders. AMS enjoys a strong reputation and deep relationships in the hospitals where we serve. We consider ourselves fortunate to be apart of the team providing patients treatment & care, and we treat this opportunity with the respect it deserves.
