Medical Diagnosis - General Components

General Components

General components, which are present in a diagnostic procedure in most of the various available methods include:

  • Complementing the already given information with further data gathering, which may include questions of the medical history (potentially from other people close to the patient as well), physical examination and various diagnostic tests.
    A diagnostic test is any kind of medical test performed to aid in the diagnosis or detection of disease. Diagnostic tests can also be used to provide prognostic information on people with established disease.
  • Processing of the answers, findings or other results. Consultations with other providers and specialists in the field may be sought.
