"A comprehensive guide to medical conditions and the tests performed to exclude or include them in a diagnosis including costs and outcomes."@en
"Provides a basic understanding of the diagnostic procedures and tools used by physicians, hospitals, and commercial laboratories. Each test entry includes a description of the test, patient preparation required, a description of the procedure itself, the reference range, what abnormal values may signify, and the approximate cost of the test."
"Explains over 1,000 common diagnostic procedures, featuring information on the cost, accuracy, and patient preparation requirements of each test."
"The subtitle exagerates the scope and depth of this reference. Patients will get a sense of a procedure; however, some terminology is rather technical, and some entries lack details that a patient might want to know, e.g. dietary restrictions prior to a test, the use of anesthetic during a procedure, risks, alternatives. Coverage includes 1,000 commonly prescribed tests and procedures, including what they measure, patient preparation, specimen assessment, cost, and special instructions or precautions. The second edition includes new and revised tests, updated prices, the impact of the Internet on diagnostic testing, and the direct-to-consumer movement in medical testing. Written by a pathologist/laboratory director and a nurse."
