Uncovering answers with exceptional neurodiagnostic resources

Neurodiagnostics uses specialized testing to evaluate how the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles are functioning. At Penn Medicine, our neurology specialists use advanced neurodiagnostic tools to get the answers you need about your neurological condition—especially when symptoms can’t be fully explained by X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) scans alone. Whether you’re seeking a first-time diagnosis for new symptoms or a second opinion to confirm an existing one, our experts are dedicated to providing an accurate diagnosis the first time.

Penn Neurology is the oldest and most established neurology department in the United States, with decades of experience and a wide range of advanced diagnostic capabilities. Patients seek care at Penn Medicine for our clinical expertise, testing options, and commitment to high-quality care.

We offer:

Autonomic testing: We’re the only health care system in the region that offers this group of tests, which evaluates functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature control.
Single-fiber electromyography: Ours is one of the few facilities in the region to use this diagnostic technique to assess individual muscle fibers and support accurate diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders.
High-volume neurodiagnostic services: We perform thousands of diagnostic tests each year for patients who come from across the region and the country for evaluation.
Continuous monitoring capabilities: We can provide 24-hour monitoring for both inpatient and outpatient care when ongoing data collection is needed.
Nationally recognized quality standards: Our neurodiagnostic laboratories have earned multiple elite accreditations for meeting or exceeding high technical and patient care standards.
Research-driven innovation: As part of a leading neuroscience research program, our teams work closely with researchers and developers to advance new technologies and approaches to neurodiagnostic care.
