Tests for Brain, Spinal Cord, and Nerve Disorders

Diagnostic procedures may be needed to confirm a diagnosis suggested by the medical history and physical examination. Imaging tests such as computed tomography (CT—see see Common Imaging Tests: Computed Tomography), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI—see see Common Imaging Tests: Magnetic Resonance Imaging), angiography (see see Common Imaging Tests: Angiography), positron emission tomography (PET—see see Common Imaging Tests: Radionuclide Scanning), and Doppler ultrasonography (see see Common Imaging Tests: Ultrasonography) are commonly used to diagnose neurologic disorders.
