Reviews
Diagnostic tests are among the fastest-growing and most costly aspects of modern medicine. To help educate the healthcare consumer, medical experts from the Yale Medical School have compiled this comprehensive guide to medical tests, with some general information related to patient rights and informed consent, screening tests, and an overview of diagnostic tests. The bulk of the book includes hundreds of the most commonly performed diagnostic tests described in clear, understandable terms with easy-to-follow charts. Information about the tests includes alternate names, purpose, how the test works, preparation, test procedure, variations, post-test implications, interpretation, advantages and disadvantages, and the next step or follow-up. This excellent resource is recommended for all consumer healthcare collections, where it will serve as a more readable resource than more specialized guides such as Jacques Wallach's Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests: A Synopsis of Laboratory Medicine (Lippincott-Raven, 1996. 6th ed.)?James Swanton, Harlem Hosp.
