Neurodiagnostics

At Penn Medicine, our neurology specialists analyze and monitor the nervous system using the most advanced neurodiagnostic tools available to get the answers you need about your neurological condition. These tools can detect abnormalities, diseases, and injuries that affect the brain and nervous system that can’t always be detected by an X-Ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) scans alone. 

With our clinical expertise and exceptional resources, you’re in good hands at Penn Medicine. Whether you’re seeking answers about symptoms you’re experiencing, or you’ve already received a diagnosis and want to confirm it, Penn has the experience and the tools to make an accurate diagnosis the first time.
