differential diagnostic algorithms
Differential diagnostic algorithms are step-by-step decision-making processes used by healthcare professionals to systematically narrow down and identify potential causes for a patient's symptoms. These algorithms involve considering various factors such as medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies to distinguish between different diseases or conditions that share similar symptoms.
