Neurologists use various diagnostic tools to assess and diagnose CNS disorders:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Provides detailed images of the brain and spinal cord, helping to identify abnormalities. Computed Tomography (CT): Utilizes X-rays to create cross-sectional images, useful in detecting injuries and tumors. Electroencephalography (EEG): Measures electrical activity in the brain, often used in the diagnosis of epilepsy and sleep disorders. Lumbar Puncture: Involves extracting cerebrospinal fluid to diagnose infections or neurological conditions.
