Screening and Diagnosis

The main goal of screening tests is to identify illness or risk factors for disease in large groups of otherwise healthy people. Increased diagnostic testing expenses may be acceptable to establish a diagnosis.

Diagnosis can help maximize the efficacy of therapy and allow the infected patient to avoid long-term consequences. Patients who remain undiagnosed may inadvertently spread the illness. Early detection may aid in preventing or putting an end to an epidemic.

Preventive screenings prior to the start of symptoms make sense for the majority of people because they enable you to work with your doctor to reduce the recognized risk. Preventive screening is critical to ensuring that you remain independent and active for the longest possible period.
