Question 6

Who is a Neurologist?

Accepted Answer

A neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing, evaluating, and treating conditions that affect the nervous system. Because of the complex nature of the nervous system, most neurologists focus on treating certain people with specific neurological conditions. Neurologists are generally highly trained clinicians who are capable of diagnosing complex diseases through a complete history and physical examination, including testing of vision, mental status, strength, speech, coordination, sensation, reflexes, and gait. Even when medicine becomes more dependent on newer technology, the neurological exam would remain a critical part of the patient evaluation. A neurologist does not perform surgery. If a patient requires surgery, they usually refer them to a neurosurgeon.

Since neurology deals with the brain and the entire nervous system, there are several conditions that neurologists can diagnose and treat. Most of them go on to study a specific subset of neurology after finishing their residency training. During your appointment with a neurologist, they will talk ask about your medical history as well as your symptoms. They will also do a physical exam that focuses on your nerves, spines, and brain. They have a good idea of your diagnosis from your thorough exam, but you'll need other tests to confirm it.

Question 7

What are the qualifications of a Neurologist?

Accepted Answer

A person who wants to become a neurologist needs to first complete a 5½ year- MBBS degree and then a 2-3-year MD/DNB course. After obtaining the master's degree in neurology, the candidate will have to complete D.M. (neurology) course to specialize in the field of neurology.

The first step to becoming a neurologist is to get a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university. A medical student needs to complete a five-and-a-half-year MBBS program that prepares a student to work as a medical doctor. A student’s final two years will include clinical rotations in his or her chosen medical specialty.

A neurosurgeon residency program prepares a doctor to work in the field and also offers the opportunity to complete rotations in many areas of surgery and sub-specialties. As a doctor has additional experience and responsibilities, they can start focusing on neurosurgery. A neurologist has the opportunity to extend their training after doing residency by completing a spine fellowship program.

Question 9

What diagnostic tests are required by a Neurologist?

Accepted Answer

To diagnosis a nervous system disorder, a neurologist starts with a complete medical history as well as a physical exam. They might also use one or more of these tests:CT Scan: This shows detailed images of various parts of the brain.Electroencephalogram (EEG): This test measures the brain's continuous electrical activity.MRI: This test uses a combination of radio waves, large magnets, and a computer to make detailed images of the brain.Positron emission tomography (PET): This test measures the metabolic activity of cells.Arteriogram (angiogram). This X-ray of the arteries and veins helps detect blockage of the vessels.Spinal tap (lumbar puncture): In this test, a special needle is inserted into the lower back.Myelogram. This uses dye placed into the spinal canal for proper visibility of the structure on X-rays.Neurosonography: It allows the doctor to analyze blood flow in stroke.Ultrasound (sonography): This imaging test uses high-frequency sound waves to make images of tissues, blood vessels, and organs.
