What is the diagnostic process?
The diagnosis is the result of an intricate procedure that revolves around the patient, working along with the patient and other sources of clinical data to determine what prospective health problem might be the root of the patient's current condition.
The patient usually contacts the healthcare system for the first time as a result of symptoms. A working diagnosis is then reached after one or more rounds of information gathering, integrating, and interpretation. Information may enter this loop at different points, changing the original theory when new information becomes available or existing probabilities are confirmed.
Throughout this process, communication is essential between the patient, their family, and medical providers.

Sources of information in the diagnostic process
Sources of information include:
☛ The clinical history
☛ Physical examination
☛ Diagnostic testing
☛ Consultation with other clinicians
☛ Second Opinion

☛ Consultation with other clinicians
☛ Second Opinion
Final Diagnosis
Any additional changes to the diagnosis must also be communicated to the patient, especially if the diagnosis is updated and improved with the addition of new information. Finally, the working diagnosis is confirmed when only one or a maximum of two options remain. This refers to contrasting the diagnosis with the different signs and symptoms, assessing how well it matches the patient's risk factors and state of health, and determining whether other diagnoses are required to explain the clinical features.
Diagnostic verification is crucial because it ensures that only tests are performed that are supported by the anticipated information collected and their favourable effects on patient outcomes. When the available knowledge is insufficient to explain the health condition or contradicts the current diagnosis, risky or invasive tests may occasionally be needed for diagnosis.
Treatment for the patient comes before a definitive diagnosis, as it should, but subsequent care can be improved by making sure that the level of uncertainty surrounding the working diagnosis is steadily declining over time. The results of the initial or tentative course of treatment themselves offer crucial data that can help hone the working diagnosis.

Diagnostic Testing
Only approximately a century ago did testing become essential to diagnosis. Testing may take place over the course of several rounds and occasionally detect potentially unsafe problems before they are ever noticed. In addition to mental health screening tests, sleep apnea tests, and tests for vision, hearing, cognition, and neurological status, diagnostic testing makes use of laboratory tests, pathology, and imaging.

Advanced and affordable Diagnostics that we specialise in :
Ultrasound (2-D,3-D)/Sonography
What is Ultrasound?
Examining the heart or a developing child within the womb is the most common purpose of an external ultrasound scan. The liver, kidneys, and other organs in the abdomen and pelvis can also be examined, as well as any other organs or tissues that can be seen through the skin, like muscles and joints.
What all can be the impressions from a Ultrasound scan?
- Gall Bladder Stone can be detected.
- Kidney Stone can be diagnosed.
- Herniation and defect size can be determined.
- Gastric issues can be assessed.
FAQs
What should be the ideal duration between the Ultrasound scan report and Doctor Consultation?
The maximum duration between the ultrasound scan report and Dr. consultation should be 1 day.
Doppler
What is doppler ?
Doppler ultrasounds are a non-invasive test that use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to bounce off moving red blood cells to estimate the blood flow via your blood arteries. Regular ultrasounds produce images using sound waves but are unable to depict blood flow.
What all can be diagnosed from the Doppler test?
- Look into cardiac activity. It frequently takes place in conjunction with an electrocardiogram, a test that gauges the electrical activity of the heart.
- Check for blood flow obstructions. Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is a disorder that results from blocked blood flow in the legs (DVT).
- Examine the heart’s structural flaws and any blood vessel damage.
- Look for blood vessel narrowing. Your arteries in your arms and legs may be narrowed if you have peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Carotid artery stenosis is a condition marked by narrowing of the neck’s arteries.
- Observe the blood flow following surgery.
- Verify that the pregnant woman and her unborn child have normal blood flow.
What should be the ideal duration between the Doppler scan report and Doctor Consultation?
The maximum duration between the ultrasound scan report and Dr. consultation should be 1 day.
MRI
What is MRI?
Radiologists employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a medical imaging technology to create images of the body’s anatomy and physiological functions. Strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves are used in MRI scanners to provide images of the body’s organs.
What are the different types of MRI?
☛Functional MRI (fMRI)
☛Breast scans
☛Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
☛Magnetic resonance venography (MRV)
☛Cardiac MRI
X-Ray
What is X-Ray?
An X-ray is a short, painless procedure that creates images of the inside body components, especially your bones.
The amount that X-ray beams are absorbed varies based on the density of the material they pass through as they travel through your body. On X-rays, dense substances like bone and metal appear as white. Your lungs’ air appears as black. Grayscale pictures of fat and muscle are used.
A contrast medium, such iodine or barium, is injected into your body during several types of X-ray exams to enhance the clarity of the images.
What are the different types of X-Ray?
The following are the differnt types of X-Rays:
☛Abdominal x-ray
☛Barium x-ray
☛Bone x-ray
☛Chest x-ray
☛Dental x-ray
☛Extremity x-ray
☛Hand x-ray
☛Joint x-ray
☛Lumbosacral spine x-ray
☛Neck x-ray
☛Pelvis x-ray
☛Sinus x-ray
☛Skull x-ray
☛Thoracic spine x-ray
☛Upper GI and small bowel series
☛X-ray of the skeleton
