Core Tip

Core Tip: The diagnostic process is a complex journey that every physician undertakes with each patient. Successfully diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases requires mastery of all the methods within the diagnostic algorithm. Modern imaging methods provide physicians with significant diagnostic support. But how should the results of these imaging methods be evaluated? This is done using key criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Only a comprehensive assessment of various diagnostic methods, taking into account these criteria, will ensure the correct diagnosis of the disease.
