Responsible prevention

More testing does not automatically mean better prevention.

Every test can produce incidental findings, further investigations and uncertainty. Its purpose, expected benefit and possible consequences should therefore be discussed in advance.

Your starting point

Start with your own question, not a list of services.

Different needs call for different starting points: an initial assessment, an existing finding or a treatment decision. The next step should address the uncertainty that matters to you.

The individual pages are organized around medical questions and decision pathways. Symptoms, function, diagnostic findings and personal goals belong together when deciding what comes next.

Preparing your next step

Make the overview useful for your own situation.

Note your most important question, the course of your symptoms and the goal you would like to reach. A clear starting question is often more useful than a long, unstructured list of symptoms.

For personal advice, bring existing original scans and relevant reports. The consultation can then focus on the decision that remains open instead of unnecessarily repeating investigations.
