Detection And Diagnostic Procedures

Medical diagnosis is the process of deciding which disease or disorder explains the signs and symptoms of a individual. This is most often referred to as diagnosis, implied in the medical sense. The information required for the diagnosis is typically collected from a person seeking medical care history and physical examination. Sometimes, one or more diagnostic procedures are also conducted during the process, such as medical tests. The posthumous diagnosis is often called a type of medical diagnosis. Diagnosis is also difficult, since many signs and symptoms are unspecific in nature. For instance, skin redness (erythema) is by itself a symptom of many disorders and often does not tell the healthcare professional what is wrong. Thus differential diagnosis must be performed, in which multiple possible explanations are compared and contrasted. This includes the association of various pieces of information accompanied by pattern recognition and differentiation. Occasionally the process is made simpler by a pathognomonic sign or symptom (or a group of several). A diagnostic test is an exam to assess the particular areas of weakness and strength of an patient in order to determine a disorder, disease or illness. Diagnostic Procedure is called a sequence of or phase wise reactions to conclude a study. Electromyography ( EMG) is a diagnostic technique for assessing muscle function and the nerve cells that regulate it (motor neurons). Motor neurons transmit electrical signals which cause contracting muscles. An EMG translates these signals into graphs, sounds or numerical values which are interpreted by a specialist.
