Diagnostic Methods

Diagnostic methods are techniques used by healthcare professionals to determine the cause of a patient's symptoms. These include physical exams, which involve checking your body, and laboratory tests, like blood or urine analysis, to gather detailed information. Imaging tools such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound produce pictures of inside your body to identify issues. Sometimes, procedures like biopsies involve taking small tissue samples for analysis. These methods help doctors accurately identify diseases or conditions, guiding effective treatment plans. The choice of diagnostic method depends on symptoms, history, and initial findings, aiming to provide precise and timely diagnoses.
