How is Receptive Aphasia Diagnosed in Cancer Patients?
Diagnosis typically involves a combination of neurological examinations, imaging studies, and cognitive tests. Neurologists and speech-language pathologists play key roles in assessing the extent of language impairment. Imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans help identify tumors or lesions in the brain that might be causing the aphasia. Neuropsychological assessments are also used to evaluate the specific language deficits present.
