Diagnostic Services
The path to healing begins with an accurate, informed diagnosis. Reaching
that diagnosis can involve tests of various kinds and the review of results
by specialized clinicians who confer with your physician to complete a
thorough analysis of your health issue. Your physician may request tests
that vary from simple to complex such as:
- Blood and fluid tests analyzed by skilled laboratory technicians
- Diagnostic imaging (X-rays) to view the musculoskeletal system or internal
organs, capturing detailed images of form and function. Images are analyzed
by radiology physicians skilled at identifying irregularities.
- Hearing tests monitored by an audiologist to help determine the source
of hearing difficulties
- Biopsies to collect a tissue sample for review by our pathologist to determine
if cancer is present. Outpatient procedures such as colonoscopies and
endoscopies are performed by our skilled surgeons to look for internal
abnormalities.
All of these tests and more are performed by the skilled staff at Coshocton
Regional Medical Center, using today’s remarkable technology to
provide your physician with the knowledge he or she needs to make an accurate
diagnosis.
If you have questions about a diagnostic procedure, please talk with your
doctor. Please explain to the skilled technician performing the test if
you have any questions or are experiencing anxiety. He or she can help
answer your questions and help you understand what to expect.
