American Clinical Magnetoencephalography Society Clinical Practice Guideline 3: MEG–EEG Reporting*

MEG–EEG REPORTING MEG–EEG reporting guidelines are not meant to represent rigid rules but general recommendations for reporting MEG–EEG results. They are intended for standard MEG–EEG recordings rather than for special procedures. When reporting on more specialized types of records, description of technical details should be more complete than in the case of standard recordings. The MEG–EEG report should consist of the following principal parts: (1) patient identification information and clinical history; (2) MEG–EEG acquisition; (3) methods of analysis; (4) description of significant MEG and EEG findings; and (5) interpretation of findings, including impression regarding its normality or degree of abnormality and conservative correlation of the MEG–EEG findings with the clinical picture.
