ACNS CLTM Guidelines (ones not
already in one of my other billion
sets) Questions with Detailed
Verified Answers
Monochrome Display Monitor Ans: Perceived optical resolution is
525 line pairs, satisfactory for LTME, higher optical resolution of up
to 1,000 line pairs available in some monitors
Color Display monitor Ans: Perceived optical resolution in 250 line
paris, minimal acceptable standard for LTME. The current optimal
standards are 1600 x 1200 pixels with a screen diagonal size of 20
inches or more
Standard monochrome (black and white) Ans: Requires
illumination of 0.5 footcandle, satisfactory for daylight monitoring
conditions, unsatisfactory for nocturnal monitoring under reduced
lighting conditions.
Low light level monochrome Ans: Allows monitoring in only 0.03
footcandles of illumination, particularly sensitive to red light, useful
for nocturnal monitoring under reduced lighting conditions,
automatic iris need to compensate for sudden increases in light
level
Silicon intensified (Starlight) Ans: Effective in as little as 0.000025
footcandles of illumination, image intensifier technology, high
resolution for nocturnal monitoring, expense is substantial, value
for increased resolution not established

Low-light level color Ans: Can be used for nocturnal monitoring
with small night light, increased expense, value not established in
nocturnal conditions except to attempt exlusive use of color
cameras.
Solid-state sensor monochrome Ans: Longer lasting than tube
cameras, good resolution, no "blooming" and no image retention
("burn in"), tolerates difficult lighting conditions, is available with
built-in infrared illuminators for night monitoring
Foramen ovale electrodes Ans: Used to record from mesial
temporal stuctures without requiring penetration of the skull.
Foramen ovale Ans: A one to four contact flexible electrode is
placed in the ambient cistern with the aid of a needle inserted
through the ____________
128 Ans: The capacity of how many channels are found in the
majority of LTME recording equipment?
Self-reporting Ans: A type of behavioral monitoring which features
a daily diary or log in which the patient notes the occurence of
behavioral episodes in questions. Advanced forms include the use
of a push button event marker to signal the occurrence of an
episode
Observer reporting Ans: A type of behavioral monitoring that
compliments self-reporting in daily diaries. Includes the use of
standardized checklists of information to be recorded, direct
interaction with the patient to assess mental function. Also used in
in-patient settings when personnel are available to monitor
patient activity.
