Diagnostic Testing

The skull base surgery program utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic tools. As part of the workup and follow-up, a patient may need to get bloodwork, x-rays, and other tests.

Tests like these and others are chosen based on the patient's needs, and after discussion with them about how these tests may impact their care. Every effort is made to accommodate a person’s specific needs in arranging and performing diagnostic tests.
