7 sentences with “diagnostic”

She promptly sent us to the hospital for diagnostic testing.

This systematic diagnostic "line", rare then, is today's bread and butter.

For example, the MYCIN programme - a diagnostic system specialising in infectious diseases - gives the doctor this kind of answer: "There is a 74 percent chance that your patient suffers from the inflammation of the colon called Crohn's disease".

These findings, recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, could eventually lead to the design of a much-needed diagnostic test, and would silence those who sceptically argue that all hyperactive children have is that they are "annoying".

The ultrasound scanner, the diagnostic device so common today, with which obstetricians investigate the morphology of the foetus in the pregnant woman, is exactly that, a sonic eye, although in general the image leaves something to be desired and requires interpretation by a specialist.

To avoid such an unhealthy diet and also the hunger of no more patients, our doctor buys himself a more powerful computer and some expert diagnostic systems, very efficient and fast programs to pinpoint the etiological cause of any disease through the sometimes diffuse tangle of symptoms.

But these computer programmes take their knowledge from the four or five best specialists in this or that field, a knowledge that has to be transformed into "machine language" in dribs and drabs. In the meantime, science continues to advance, so that diagnostic programmes become obsolete, outdated and out of date, just as almost any knowledge archiving system does today.
