Making a Diagnosis

Neurologic disorders are complex. These conditions can mimic one another. It’s important to get the right diagnosis. This ensures you get the care you need.

We use exams and tests to understand your condition. Examples include:

• Blood tests
• CT, MRI, PET
• Electroencephalography (EEG) to measure brain activity
• Electromyelography (EMG) and nerve conduction tests
• Eye and vision tests
• Neuropsychological and cognitive testing
• Neurological exam
• Sleep studies

We use imaging tests, such as CT, MRI and PET, to see the structures of your nervous system. These studies let your doctor study how your body functions.
