Abstract
The use of diagnostic tests and procedures is not new or even exciting. Tests for physiological or psychological malfunction are performed routinely and results utilized in the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of various disease states. Tests for pregnancy, bacterial or fungal infection, blood pressure, cardiovascular function, neurological, liver and kidney function span the spectrum from simple to rather complex procedures.Keywords
