Taken in conjunction with a detailed history and thorough clinical examination, they allow your clinician to reach a working diagnosis that permits subsequent treatment. The choice of test depends on a number of factors; your Consultant will be able to discuss with you which tests are appropriate and what they will involve.<\/p>\n<p>Some basic information is given here regarding some common diagnostic investigations.
