How to Diagnose Alexic Anomia
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. She will do a physical exam. To help differentiate alexic anomia from other, similar conditions, your doctor may perform a neurological examination, tests to check brain function, and/or order these tests:
- CT scan -a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the head
- MRI scan -a test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of structures inside the head
- PET scan -a test that makes images showing the amount of functional activity in the brain
You may be referred to a neurologist. This is a doctor who specializes in diseases of the nervous system.
