title: Data interchange for clinical neurophysiology.
abstract: Clinical Neurophysiology is rapidly moving towards complete dependence on digital instrumentation and computer-based systems. ASTM E 1467-92 "Standard Specification for Transferring Digital Neurophysiological Data Between Independent Computer Systems" was developed to allow exchange of multichannel electrophysiological waveforms, embedded textual annotations, results of mathematical processing, and clinical interpretive reports between various instruments and systems. This will permit integration of the neurophysiology laboratory interaction with hospital and clinic informations systems, and sharing of data between institutions for clinical or research purposes.
