Lots! Most abnormalities of the brain can be seen on MRI better than on a CAT scan e.g. brain tumours, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, blood clots and lesions. Neuro science is a complex area with numerous diseases and the MRI has greatly assisted in diagnosing neurological conditions.
An MRI can find diseases like cancer and heart disease.
what are some common neurological disorders
Corticobasal degeneration is diagnosed with a neurological exam (testing of reflexes, coordination, sensation, etc.) and neuroimaging studies, including computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
An initial diagnosis of OPCA can be made with a careful neurological examination (testing of reflexes, balance, coordination, etc.), plus a magnetic resonance image (MRI ) of the brain
A group of neurological disorders are usually caused by the damage to the brain. Examples of these neurological disorders are stroke, tumors, vertigo, prion diseases, and multiple sclerosis.Ê
When an individual is talking about a neurological disorder they are likely referring to a mental issue. However neurological disorders can also cause issues with the spine.
Diagnosis is usually made by neuroimaging. CT scan or MRI of the brain will show the characteristic abnormality. MRI has better resolution and may detect polymicrogyria or small heterotopias more easily than CT.
No, unfortunately there is no objective test for bipolar disorder, it can only be diagnosed by subjective observation of symptoms.
CT Scans - MRI Scans
Genetic disorders are usually diagnosed by specialists after a person complains of symptoms. Occasionally, they may be diagnosed by geneticists, following a battery of tests.
The most common neurological disorders are Alzheimer's, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Dementia, Dyslexia, Epilepsy, Huntington's, Multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's.
Because they diagnose and treat neurological disorders?!?
