Medical diagnosis is the process of determining which disease or condition explains person’s symptoms and signs. The information required for diagnosis typically collected from a history and physical examination of the person seeking medical care. Often, one or more diagnostic procedures, such as diagnostic tests, also done during the process. Sometimes posthumous diagnosis considered a kind of medical diagnosis. Diagnosis is often challenging, because many signs and symptoms are nonspecific. For example, redness of the skin (erythema), by itself, is a sign of many disorders and thus does not tell the healthcare professional what is wrong. Thus differential diagnosis, in which several possible explanations compared and contrasted, performed. This involves the correlation of various pieces of information followed by the recognition and differentiation of patterns. Occasionally the process is made easy by a sign or symptom (or a group of several) that is pathognomonic. Diagnosis is a major component of the procedure of a doctor's visit. From the point of view of statistics, the diagnostic procedure involves classification tests. Complete thoroughgoing physical examination of every patient who presents himself for medical advice would undoubtedly result in fewer diagnostic errors and treatment that is more effective. Complete examination, however, includes a great many procedures requiring special laboratory equipment available only in large private clinics, co-operative laboratories, and hospitals, while most patients report to their physician at his office. The cost of special examinations done singly is as great taken together as to discourage the patient, and the physician's alternative is to limit his use of laboratory methods to those most likely to yield positive findings in a given case, a practice utterly opposed to the basic idea of complete physical examination. So long as serological tests, chemical analyses, electrocardiograms, metabolic rate determinations, and roentgen examinations mean additional separate charges against the patient they will never be used with the freedom which their diagnostic value warrants The Radiology Department is dedicated to providing the highest quality, comprehensive Imaging diagnostic facilities for all ages.
