Evaluation of Diagnostic Tests

As technology advances, diagnostic tests continue to improve and each year, we are presented with new alternatives to standard procedures. Given the plethora of diagnostic alternatives, diagnostic tests must be evaluated to determine their place in the diagnostic armamentarium. The first step involves determining the accuracy of the test, including the sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative predictive values, likelihood ratios for positive and negative tests, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The role of the test in a diagnostic pathway has then to be determined, following which the effect on patient outcome should be examined.
