Neurologist

Many sorts of conditions fall into the neurology category, such as epilepsy, brain cancer, brain tumor, brain aneurysm, dementia, migraines, sleep disorders and multiple sclerosis.

A neurologist deals with the diseases and disorders of the nervous system  - brain, spine and nerves. Neurologists go through years of post graduate specialized training, often focusing on a particular portion of study, such as epilepsy, brain tumor, brain cancer, brain aneurysm, strokes, Alzheimer's disease, pain management, neuromuscular or other disorders associated with the nervous system & movement.

Neurologists will often work with radiologists to help their patients who may require neurosurgery. Some of the conditions that may be diagnosed or treated using the aid of radiologists for their expertise include, but are not limited to, strokes, Parkinson's Disease, epilepsy, dementia, brain tumours, brain aneurysms, and arterio venous malformation (or AVM).

Radiologists will use CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, EEGs, EMGs, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). All of these and more are ordered by the neurologists or perhaps the neurosurgeon.
