You have a "transplant assessment" at a transplant hospital. It usually involves ultrasounds, blood tests, MRI's, EEG's, ECG's, psychological assessments and a chest x-ray. (But that depends on what transplant you need). If, at the end of all that you are considered a suitable candidate for a transplant, your name is added to the waiting list for a transplant by the hospital's transplant coordinator.
Autologous = own marrow Allogeneic = transplant from a related (or tissue matched) donor. Syngeneic = transplant from an identical twin.
