Services
Neurology and neuroradiology in a single visit
Dual specialisation in Neurology and Diagnostic Radiology makes it possible to assess symptoms, neurological examination and imaging together, leading to a more precise diagnosis and a clear care plan.
Neurological visit
Complete assessment of neurological symptoms such as headache, vertigo, memory problems, tingling, seizures and movement disorders.
Neuroradiological consultation
Specialist reading of MRI and CT scans already performed, integrated with the clinical assessment (second opinion).
