Angiography:

This test is performed to detect blood clots and aneurysms by discovering blocked, damaged or abnormal blood vessels in your brain, neck or head.

Biopsy:

Your doctor will remove a small tissue of muscle, nerve or brain from your body to check for abnormalities or damage.

Cerebrospinal fluid analysis:

In this test, the neurologist will remove a sample of fluid from your spinal cord and brain. The test is used to detect signs of bleeding, or infection, as well as, used for detecting multiple sclerosis and metabolic diseases.

Besides, you may be also asked for tests such as Computed Tomography (CT), X-rays, Ultrasound, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Electroencephalography (EEG):

The test helps measure the electrical activity inside a brain, which detects seizures, infections, brain injury and tumours.

Electromyography (EMG):

In this test, the doctor tests the electrical activity within your muscles. It aids in diagnosing nerve and muscle disorders, compression in spinal nerve roots and motor neuron disorders like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Electronystagmography (ENG):

It is used for diagnosing involuntary eye movement, balance disorders and dizziness.

Myelography:

It helps disorders tumours in the spinal and spinal cord, herniated disks and fractures.

Evoked potentials:

This test helps a neurologist figure out how fast electrical signals reach your brain from your eyes, and ears and touch your skin. This helps doctors diagnose spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and acoustic neuroma.

Polysomnogram:

It detects how your brain and body function when you are in sleep, allowing neurologists to detect sleep disorders.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET):

This is an imaging test used for the location of tumors in the brain. Neurologists also use it for identifying epilepsy, dementia, brain tumours and Alzheimer’s disease.

Single-photon emission Computed Tomography (SPECT):

This imaging test is used for diagnosing tumours, and infections as well as discovering the location of seizures, stress fractures, and degenerative spine diseases.

Thermography:

This test helps evaluate pain syndromes, nerve root compression and peripheral nerve disorders by measuring temperature changes in your body or a particular organ.
