Tests and Treatment

What Tests are Used to Diagnose Epilepsy?

We have a variety of high-tech evaluations to diagnose and manage the full spectrum of epilepsy. Tests include:

• Long-term video electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring
• High resolution neuroimaging such as 3-Tesla MRI, SPECT, PET, and functional MRI
• In-depth neuropsychological testing
• Wada testing
• Visualase laser ablation 

When Do Doctors Diagnose Epilepsy?

Usually, a patient is diagnosed with epilepsy after two or more seizures that are not provoked by high fever, concussion or other event.
