If patient Y can name some of them with further prompting ( e. g. given a categorical clue such as being told that the item they could not name is a fruit ), this allows a more specific diagnosis than simply dementia ( Y appears to have the vascular type which is due to brain pathology but is usually at least somewhat reversible ).

If MRI or bone scans are necessary, a positive diagnosis relies upon patchy areas of vascularity to the capital femoral epiphysis ( the developing femoral head ).

If tuberculosis or cancer is suspected, a small piece of the pleura may be examined under a microscope to make a definitive diagnosis.
