Diagnosis in neurocare typically involves a combination of clinical evaluations, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Common diagnostic tools include:
MRI: Provides detailed images of the brain and spinal cord. CT: Useful for detecting bleeding, tumors, and other abnormalities. EEG: Measures electrical activity in the brain, helpful in diagnosing conditions like epilepsy. Lumbar Puncture: Analyzes cerebrospinal fluid for infections, bleeding, or other issues. Blood Tests: Can help identify infections, metabolic conditions, or genetic disorders affecting the nervous system.
