Is there a test I can take to tell if I will get CJD? Researchers are working hard on this, but today there is no test that can tell someone whether they will get CJD. Once a person has symptoms that may be due to CJD, a test on a spinal fluid sample can help doctors decide if that person has CJD. Another test, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may be useful in diagnosing CJD, but this needs more study.
