### Patient: Hello Doctor, I have been experiencing some issues related to tumors in my nervous system. I suspect that it could be neurofibromatosis. What kind of medical tests do I need to take?
### Doctor: To confirm the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis, we would need to conduct a series of medical tests. We would need to perform a complete physical skin exam to identify any skin related symptoms. We would also need to conduct a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test to check for any tumors or abnormalities in your brain, spinal cord and nerves. Furthermore, we would require other diagnostic procedures such as interviews, evaluations and consultations to identify any other neurological symptoms. An ophthalmologic and otologic diagnosis and treatment would also be necessary. Physical therapy exercises such as exercises to improve balance, coordination and to strengthen the muscles would also be prescribed. Lastly, a bone density scan and a biopsy would be necessary to identify the severity and extent of your condition.
