Taking a complete blood count of an individual experiencing a high fever, to check for a bacterial infection.1 Monitoring electrocardiogram readings on a patient suffering chest pain, to diagnose or determine any heart irregularities.1 Screening A screening is a medical test or series used to detect or predict the presence of disease in individuals at risk for disease within a defined group, such as a population, family, or workforce.3 4 Screenings may be performed to monitor disease prevalence, manage epidemiology, aid in prevention, or strictly for statistical purposes.5 Examples of screenings include measuring the level of TSH in the blood of a newborn infant as part of newborn screening for congenital hypothyroidism,6, checking for Lung cancer in non-smoking individuals who are exposed to second-hand smoke in an unregulated working environment, and Pap smear screening for prevention or early detection of cervical cancer. Evaluation Some medical tests are used to evaluate the progress of, or response to medical treatment. They are also used to monitor the course prognosis of a disease.7 Examples of this may include analyzing the arterial blood gasses of an individual, after chest x-rays confirm the presence of a pneumothorax; or, performing a biopsy of a removed tumor to determine the degree of malignancy. Risks Some medical testing procedures have health risks, and even require general anesthesia, such as the mediastinoscopy.2 Other tests, such as the blood test or pap smear have little to no direct risks.3 Medical tests may also have indirect risks, such as the stress of testing, and riskier tests may be required as follow-up for a potentially false positive test result. Consult the physician prescribing any test for further information.
