Usage notes
In the US, this spelling is more common than (and may even be preferred over) the ECG spelling, particularly in medical contexts where both electrocardiograms and en electroencephalogram electroencephalograms may be present. This is mainly due to the ease with which ECG (ee-cee-gee) may be confused with en EEG (ee-ee-gee) in most American English dialects.
