Neurological Diagnostic Tests

Neurological diagnostic tests are procedures used to evaluate the function and structure of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. These tests help identify issues like injuries, infections, or diseases affecting the nervous system. Common tests include MRI or CT scans, which create detailed images; EEGs that measure brain activity; nerve conduction studies that assess nerve signals; and lumbar punctures that analyze cerebrospinal fluid. These tools aid healthcare providers in diagnosing conditions accurately, guiding appropriate treatment, and monitoring neurological health over time.
