SzAC
is an on-line seizure and spike analysis software package for use
with TWin software. SzAC's utility is proven to reduce review time
of long-term EEG recordings, allowing the person reading the EEG
study to quickly view events of interest without having to page
through the entire recording.
SzAC was the first commercially available seizure and spike detection
program. It has continued to evolve and improve through Grass Technologies's
ongoing research and development. The default detection parameters
are optimized for minimal false positive and false negative results,
however the user can adjust parameters as needed.
During
data review, the SzAC TimeLine graph shows marks to indicate patient
pushbutton events and automatic detections. Clicking on these marks
will bring up the corresponding page of EEG data for visual confirmation.
The SzAC TimeLine is also used for marking events of interest for
saving, both EEG and digital video.
SzAC
is included with the Beehive Millennium and Beehive Horizon but
is also available as an option for use with TWin EEG in the Aurora
or Comet recorders. TWin SzAC and RetroSzAC's parameters and performance
are identical. The only difference is, RetroSzAC is run during review,
whereas TWin SzAC is run in real-time during a recording.
