Most of the known medical conditions were described long before the invention of imaging or computer technology (eg. CT-scans, MRI, PET). The age old methods of history taking and physical examination were used by Physicians for centuries, even millenia, before the advent of current diagnostic technologies. Parkinson's disease is named after the Physician who first described it in 1817, Dr. James Parkinson. He used nothing more than his knowledge of medicine and keen powers of observation.
