Diagnostic Testing
If you feel slightly under the weather, you likely stay home, drink lots of fluids, and eat soup and crackers to feel better. While this at-home remedy may cure the common cold, it won’t work for more serious illnesses. Rather, a medical professional must perform diagnostic testing to discover exactly why you don’t feel your best.
At Rural Health Services Consortium, Inc., we provide medical diagnostic testing throughout Tennessee. We also believe that everyone should have access to quality medical care regardless of their financial situation. We run several facilities in rural towns throughout Tennessee to provide this care to those most in need.
What You Can Expect from Diagnostic Testing
Simply put, diagnostic testing refers to the kind of procedures medical professionals perform to detect and diagnose diseases or health conditions. Once they diagnose a condition, medical experts can then monitor it and provide the necessary treatment.
At our facilities in Kingsport, TN; Johnson City, TN; and elsewhere in Tennessee, our doctors and medical staff perform the following kinds of diagnostic testing:
- X-rays
- Biopsies
- CT scans
- Blood work
- Ultrasounds
- MRIs
- Lab work
We also take your vital signs, including your heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and respiratory rate, as part of diagnostic testing. We’ll order the appropriate tests depending on your symptoms, then provide you with a diagnosis and treatment plan after we’ve analyzed everything.
