What is the point of a diagnostic test?

Why do we need to know the probability of a diagnosis?
The whole point of a diagnostic test is to use it to make a diagnosis, so we need to know the probability that the test will give the correct diagnosis. The sensitivity and specificity1 do not give us this information. Instead we must approach the data from the direction of the test results, using predictive values.
What do you need to know about medical diagnostics?
The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (AART) also certifies those in medical imaging and medical diagnostic careers. In most cases education, training or work experience qualifications must first be met to be eligible to sit for the certification exam.
What are the options for a diagnostic assessment?
These assessments can be formal (e.g., standardized achievement test) or informal (e.g., work samples). Listen as Rebecca Zumeta Edmonds discusses several options for conducting a diagnostic assessment (time: 2:09). Rebecca Zumeta Edmonds, PhD
