Evaluation and Accurate Diagnosis

NOHC in Chicago is the best place to have doctors evaluate and diagnose orthopedic and neurological conditions because:

• Patients have convenient access to a comprehensive range of advanced and traditional technologies to diagnose disorders, including MRI, CT scan, X rays, EEGs, EMGs, and nerve conduction studies.
• The hospital’s physicians and clinicians have been named among the best in Chicago, assuring you of quality care and expert opinion.
• Many times patients can move from diagnosis to treatment in the same day. For example, an orthopedic surgeon may evaluate your injury in the morning and provide a minimally invasive surgical solution that afternoon.

You or any doctors can arrange to have tests performed here at the Neurologic and Orthopedic Institute of Chicago. Among the technologies and services we offer:

Advanced 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

The MRI provides cross-sectional images of the spine and brain or other soft tissue. Using a powerful magnet, radio waves, and a computer to scan the body, the MRI details images of soft tissue in the central nervous system, including nerves in the brain and spine, as well as ligaments and disks. Displayed on film similar to an X ray, these images help doctors diagnose many neurological or orthopedic conditions and recommend appropriate treatment. Our patients can often begin treatment the same day they are diagnosed.

Light Speed Computed Tomography (CT) scanner

Combing X ray and computer technology, the CT scan also produces soft tissue images on films to help doctors diagnose conditions and disorders throughout the body.
