Q

ERCP

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram

A

A test in which an endoscope is inserted down the esophagus, through the stomach and duodenum, and into the biliary tract. A radiopaque dye is then injected into the ducts of the biliary tract, and x-rays are taken of the biliary tract.

Q

EP

evoked potentials

A

A group of diagnostic tests that measure changes in various parts of the brain produced by visual, auditory, or somatosensory stimuli

26
Q

VEP

visual evoked potentials

A

A response to visual stimuli. Sometimes used to confirm cerebral silence (brain death)

Q

SSEP

somatosensory evoked potentials

A

Done to record a response to a painless stimulation of a peripheral nerve.

28
Q

BAEP

brainstem auditory evoked potentials

A

Recording of electrical activity coming from the brain stem. Used to evaluate the cause of symptoms such as loss of balance, weakness, nausea, vomiting, hearing loss, unusual ringing of ears, headaches, vision problems, or numbness.
