Uncovering answers with exceptional neurodiagnostic resources

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.

  • Ours is one of the few facilities in the region to use single-fiber electromyography—a specialized diagnostic technique to assess the function of individual muscle fibers—to help diagnose neuromuscular disorders.

  • If needed, our experts have the capabilities to provide 24-hour continuous monitoring for both inpatient and outpatient care, with a system in place for reviewing patient data that leads to enhanced accuracy and collaborative decision-making across the health care team.
