Diagnostic technologies are tools and methods used to identify diseases or health conditions in patients. These technologies can include imaging techniques like X-rays, MRI, and CT scans, which provide visual representations of the body's internal structures. Other methods, such as blood tests and biopsies, analyze samples to detect abnormalities at a cellular or molecular level. Advancements in diagnostic technologies have improved the accuracy and speed of disease detection. For instance, genetic testing can identify predispositions to certain conditions, while point-of-care testing allows for immediate results in various settings. These innovations enhance patient care by enabling timely and targeted treatments.
