Diagnostic procedure

A diagnostic procedure is a test or series of tests performed by healthcare professionals to determine the cause of a patient's symptoms or health concerns. It involves collecting information through methods like physical exams, blood tests, imaging (such as X-rays or MRIs), or other specialized assessments. These procedures help identify medical conditions accurately, guiding appropriate treatment. The goal is to gather enough relevant information efficiently and safely to understand the patient's health status and develop an effective care plan.
