Sundown Seminars (ticketed event) - $30
The ASET Sundown Seminars are designed to
promote customized learning in an informal setting
with opportunity to ask questions. There is a separate
registration fee for these workshops. We encourage
you to register in advance but we will accept
registrations on-site.
CPT Coding Workshop
Kathryn Hansen, R. EEG T., BS, CPC
Kathryn has extensive experience in
neurodiagnostic billing and will provide
information about correct CPT codes to use
for various procedures. Reimbursement will
improve with correct coding, so don’t miss this
workshop!
EEG Board Prep
Workshop
Larry Head, R. EEG/
EP T., CNIM, RPSGT;
Cherié Young, R. EEG
T., CNIM
Whether you are preparing
for Part I or Part II of the
current ABRET exam,
or planning to take the new exam in 2013,
this workshop will be helpful to you. Larry
and Cherié will help you pull together study
resources and gain insight into what you will
need to know to succeed.
MEG Workshop
Susan Ebersole, R. EEG T.;
John Ebersole, M.D.
There are now at least 40 medical
centers in the U.S.A. that offer
Magnetoencephalography and the value
of this imaging study is growing. Localizing
cognitive brain function and epileptogenic
foci are important tools MEG offers as
part of the pre-surgical epilepsy work-up.
It is a fascinating and rewarding job for
technologists who wish to expand their skills.
This workshop will provide an overview of
the theory behind the MEG, how a study is
acquired, and what it shows.
Minimally Invasive IONM
Workshop
Faculty TBA
Medtronics is sponsoring this workshop which
will demonstrate the anatomy involved with
monitoring extreme lateral/minimally invasive
procedures. You will experience the viewpoint
of the surgeon with a virtual O.R. set-up.
TCD Workshop
Thomas McGee, CNIM
Transcranial Doppler may be used in IONM
and in the ICU setting, and technologists
are often asked to learn how to run TCD
studies. This will be a hands-on workshop
with TCD equipment, preceded by a lecture
on the anatomy of the circulatory system and
techniques involved in this study.
