A neurologist has to undergo mandatory training after becoming a doctor. Neurologists enroll in a fellowship program to have deep experience in their specialty area because they are responsible for diagnosing and treating the complex conditions of the nervous system. Neurologists are also trained to perform a number of diagnostic tests to know the cause of a disease of the nervous system. Based on the tests, neurologists start treatment for a particular condition.

What are the tests required before and during consultation for Neurologist?

Diagnostic tests play an important role in evaluating the underlying conditions and deciding the right treatment. A neurologist performs certain tests before and after consultation to reach the right conclusion. The tests that help neurologists diagnose underlying neurological disorders are listed below::

  • Echocardiogram
  • Blood Tests
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Physical Exam
  • Cerebral Angiogram
  • Carotid Iltrasound
  • Computerized tomography (CT) scan

Some additional tests required for the diagnosis of neurological disorders are:

  1. Angiography
  2. Biopsy Cerebrospinal fluid analysis
  3. Electroencephalography
  4. Electromyography
  5. Electronystagmography
  6. Evoked potentials
  7. Myelography
  8. polysomnogram
  9. Thermography
