General
Neurodiagnostic tests, also called neurodiagnostics, are done when a patient’s illness or condition is thought to be based in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Signs of nervous system disorders include the following:
- Chronic headaches
- Dizziness
- Hearing and vision changes
- Numbness and tingling
- Seizures
- Strokes
- Weakness
There are two types of neurodiagnostic testing: imaging tests or scans (e.g., x-ray, CT scan, MRI scan, PET scan) and electrical impulse detection (e.g., EEG, EMG). Neurodiagnostic testing may be conducted as part of a neurological exam.
