Wake Forest Epilepsy Monitoring Unit

Monitoring Unit

We're one of a few centers in the southeastern United States with extensive nuclear medicine facilities in the monitoring unit, allowing radioisotope injection for SPECT (single photon emission tomography) scanning during a seizure. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and PET (positron emission tomography) scans, neuropsychological tests and intracranial EEG are also available to confirm the seizure focus.
