Diagnostic procedures
Diagnostic procedures are tests or examinations used by healthcare professionals to determine the cause of a patient’s symptoms or health issues. These can include blood tests, imaging scans (like X-rays or MRIs), biopsies, and physical exams. The goal is to gather information to accurately diagnose a condition, which helps guide treatment decisions. By analyzing the results of these procedures, doctors can identify diseases, monitor progress, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments, ensuring that patients receive appropriate care tailored to their specific needs.
