Overview
- The page name should be "[Disease name] diagnostic study of choice", with only the first letter of the title capitalized. Note that the page is called "Diagnostic study of choice."
- Goal:
- To describe the most efficient/sensitive/specific test that is utilized for diagnosis of [disease name].
- To describe the gold standard test for the diagnosis of [disease name].
- To describe the diagnostic criteria, which may be based on clinical findings, physical exam signs, pathological findings, lab findings, findings on imaging, or even findings that exclude other diseases.
- As with all microchapter pages linking to the main page, at the top of the edit box put {{CMG}}, your name template, and the microchapter navigation template you created at the beginning.
- Remember to create links within WikiDoc by placing [[square brackets]] around key words which you want to link to other pages. Make sure you makes your links as specific as possible. For example, if a sentence contained the phrase anterior spinal artery syndrome, the link should be to anterior spinal artery syndrome not anterior or artery or syndrome.
