Abstract
Polysomnograms (PSGs) in specialized sleep centers with physicians and technicians trained in sleep medicine are still considered to be the most accurate form of diagnosis in patients with sleep disorders. But they are also very costly. Internet online transfer of PSGs from nonstaffed to very well-staffed sleep centers might be a solution in the future to reduce costs.
