  Diagnostic medical sonographers
Diagnostic imaging embraces several procedures that aid in diagnosing ailments.
Diagnostic medical sonographers may specialize in obstetric and gynecologic sonography (the female reproductive system), abdominal sonography (the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas), neurosonography (the brain), or breast sonography.
Employment of diagnostic medical sonographers is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through 2014 as the population grows and ages, increasing the demand for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic technology.

  Diagnosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In medicine, diagnosis or diagnostics is the process of identifying a medical condition or disease by its signs, symptoms, and from the results of various diagnostic procedures.
The term "diagnostic criteria" designates the combination of symptoms which allows the doctor to ascertain the diagnosis of the respective disease.
The four cornerstones of diagnostic medicine, each essential for understanding homeostasis, are: anatomy (the structure of the human body), physiology (how the body works), pathology (what can go wrong with the anatomy and physiology), and psychology (thought and behaviour).

 Overview and History - Diagnostic Electron Microscopy
The costs of diagnostic EM are relatively small in light of the benefits to patient care.
Examples of such diagnostic structures include ciliary abnormalities in immotile cilia syndrome, bands of Bungner (rows of Schwann cell processes) in axonal atrophy, Weibel-Palade bodies in endothelial cells, Birbeck granules in Langerhans cells, melanosomes in amelanotic malignant melanoma, and myosin/ribosome complexes or rudimentary sarcomeres in poorly differentiated rhabdomyosarcoma.
A limited number of diagnostic EM studies are carried out on research equipment in some hospitals that do not have diagnostic units, but information about such examinations is not collected by the Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Service in National Headquarters.

 CJD Diagnostic & Research Center   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The situation is further complicated by the extraordinary fear amongst Medical Professionals in regard to this disease and their reluctance to becoming involved in standard diagnostic workup of suspected CJD patients.
Therefore, there is need of diagnostic facilities such as this wherein physicians and families may contact us for information about the disease including the handling of CJD-infected tissues, and obtain the necessary diagnostic procedures to confirm the diagnosis.
In addition to the diagnostic facility, the CJD center has an active research program, funded by the National Institutes of Health, to develop a workable diagnostic test for CJD based upon the association of a bacterium with the disease.

The diagnostic horizons, properties and materials are described, where possible, giving a general description, the diagnostic criteria, possibilities for field identification and additional characteristics.
The cation exchange capacity (CEC), used as a criterion in the definition of diagnostic horizons or properties as well as in the key to the reference soil groups, is essentially meant to reflect the nature of the mineral component of the exchange complex.
