Enhancing and Evaluating Diagnostic Accuracy
Medical Decision Making, 1991Techniques that may enhance diagnostic accuracy in clinical settings were tested in the context of mammography. Statistical information about the relevant features among those visible in a mammogram and about their relative importances in the diagnosis of breast cancer was the basis of two decision aids for radiologists: a checklist that guides the ra ...

Diagnostic accuracy in cytopathology
Diagnostic Cytopathology, 1994Cytopathologic diagnoses play an important role in clinical decision making. As a result, the tests that produce material for cytopathologic interpretation must be evaluated critically and carefully. One way to evaluate these tests is by the assessment of diagnostic accuracy.

An evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of Pathfinder
Computers and Biomedical Research, 1992We present an evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of Pathfinder, an expert system that assists pathologists with the diagnosis of lymph node diseases. We evaluate two versions of the system using both informal and decision-theoretic metrics of performance.

Diagnostic accuracy of pancreatic scanning
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1972Pancreatic scans of 200 patients have been analyzed and presented. The pancreatic scan must be rigidly controlled technically if its maximum clinical value is to be achieved. An unequivocally normal pancreatic scan is strong evidence that the acinar portion of the gland is normal. In our experience, 89.5% of the patients who had normal pancreatic scans

Diagnostic Accuracy Under Congestion
Management Science, 2013In diagnostic services, agents typically need to weigh the benefit of running an additional test and improving the accuracy of diagnosis against the cost of delaying the provision of services to others. Our paper analyzes how to dynamically manage this accuracy/congestion trade-off.

The diagnostic accuracy of a microlaparoscope
The Journal of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, 1995The performance of microlaparoscopy has been limited until recently. The introduction of a 2-mm laparoscope for diagnostic and minor procedural work may represent a technologic advance. Before such systems are used widely, their diagnostic accuracy must be validated.

Diagnostic accuracy of effusion cytology
Diagnostic Cytopathology, 1999The aim of this investigation was to report on the diagnostic accuracy of conventional effusion cytology. Cytological diagnoses of 300 pleural effusions and 300 ascites were compared with clinical and/or histological follow-ups of the respective patients.

Diagnostic Accuracy in Pediatric Appendicitis
PEDIATRICS, 2004To the Editor .— Smink et al1 analyzed the Kids’ Inpatient Database and found that pediatric appendicitis misdiagnosis rates were lower in hospitals with higher annual appendectomy volumes. They suggested that successful practices from highest-volume hospitals could be disseminated to “improve the diagnosis of appendicitis throughout the pediatric ...

Diagnostic Accuracy in Presenile Dementia
British Journal of Psychiatry, 1979SummaryA follow-up study of patients diagnosed as suffering from presenile dementia has revealed a high incidence of erroneous diagnoses. Of 52 patients discharged from hospital with this diagnosis, information was obtained 5–15 years later on 51. Eighteen were alive and the diagnosis was rejected in 16 (31 per cent).

Clinical decision making while making a diagnosis is based on pre-test probability evaluation, a decision whether further tests are needed, and post-test probability evaluation based on test results. The add value of the test is the increase in probability, which depends on its diagnostic accuracy.
