A medical test is a medical procedure performed to detect, diagnose, or monitor diseases, disease processes, susceptibility, or to determine a course of treatment.[1] The tests are classified by speciality field allowing to know in which ward of hospital or by which specialist doctor are usually these tests performed. This list is not exhaustive but might be useful as a guide. Where available, ICD-10 codes are listed.[2]
