Modern medicine is highly complex and investigations are a key part of the diagnostic process. With major advances in technology there are thousands of clinical and laboratory tests available.

This app provides a patient-oriented approach to investigation. The first chapter describes key symptoms and signs along with tests that may be of value in reaching a diagnosis. The remainder of the chapters is specialty-centered and provides a comprehensive review of all available tests within a given subject. The aim is to provide a more rational method of investigation and prevent over-investigation which is expensive for the hospital and unpleasant for the patient. It emphasises which tests are of value, when tests are not likely to be helpful, along with pitfalls in the interpretation of results. This edition has been updated throughout to incorporate current investigations and management of disease. Chapters on rheumatology, radiology, and renal medicine have been extensively revised. With contributions from active clinicians who are engaged in medical practice, the information will be of value to senior medical students facing finals examinations, and junior doctors who are responsible for ordering tests on their patients.

Readership: Senior medical students, junior hospital doctors, general practitioners, nurses and nurse practitioners.
