What are Diagnostic Tests?

Diagnostic tests at AE include a variety of procedures such as blood tests, imaging studies, and specialized tests specific to endocrine health. Blood tests are used to measure hormone levels and other related markers. Imaging tests, such as ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI, provide detailed images of the endocrine glands and help identify any structural abnormalities. These tests are essential for a thorough evaluation of endocrine function and structure.

What Can You Expect?

When you come to AE for diagnostic tests, you can expect a professional, supportive environment. Our experienced staff will guide you through each step of the process, explaining the purpose of the tests and how they will be conducted. You will receive clear instructions on how to prepare for each test, such as fasting requirements for blood tests or how to position yourself for imaging procedures.

Structure of Diagnostic Testing

The structure of your diagnostic testing will depend on the specific tests being performed. Generally, blood tests may require a simple blood draw, which takes only a few minutes. Imaging tests might take longer, depending on the area being examined and the type of equipment used. Each test is conducted with your comfort and safety as a priority, and all procedures are performed using the latest technology to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Digital Diagnostic Options

While most diagnostic tests require your physical presence at our facility, AE utilizes digital technology to enhance your experience and follow-up care. For example, test results can be accessed through a secure online portal, allowing you to review your results at your convenience. Additionally, telehealth consultations are available to discuss your results and next steps, making it easier to manage your health care remotely when appropriate.

Is a Referral Needed?

A referral may be required for diagnostic tests, depending on your insurance plan. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your coverage and whether a referral from your primary care physician or another specialist is necessary.
