What is the likelihood that a different procedure would result in a better diagnosis?
The likelihood that a different procedure would result in a better diagnosis is very slim. With so many technologies being use today to diagnosis different types of illnesses and diseases such as cancers can vary. The risk using these technologies to diagnosis the disease can be high and using different procedure doesn’t always result in a better diagnosis. For example procedure such as imaging tests from x-ray to CT scan all has risks. The risk of spreading cancer to the patient can be high and dangerous if the procedure is not done correctly and properly. Sometimes different procedure may not better than the other. For instant, x-ray creates a picture of the structures inside of the body using a small amount of radiation. An x-ray is useful for finding and monitoring some types of tumors. Then you have a CT scan that creates a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body with an x-ray machine. Then you have tests such as the Endoscopic tests where an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) is used to examine the inside of the body. The specific type of endoscope varies depending on what part of the body needs to be viewed. This type of test doesn’t have a high risk but it still doesn’t result a better diagnosis.
If the problem is more accurately diagnosed, what is the likelihood of a better cure?
If the problem is more accurately diagnosed, the probability of a better cure is much higher because with the data and information perceived through the test can help doctors and scientist to break down the problem and provide a treatment or a cure for the patient. For example with Clinical trials, they help doctors to develop new methods to prevent, detect, and treat cancer. It is through clinical trials that researchers can determine whether new treatments are safe and effective and work better than current treatments.

The questions surrounding efficacy can be very complicated. They typically involve aspects of safety, quality of life, cost and improvement over existing technology. All of these factors must be measured and weighed against each other to determine the overall efficacy of a new technology or service prior to its introduction into the patient population.
The question surrounding the likelihood of whether a different procedure would result in a better diagnosis would depend on the current methods used. Are the current methods working well and are they allowing for a complete diagnosis at the time of the procedure. If the new technology allows for similar or increased diagnostic capabilities but decreases the morbidity associated with obtaining the diagnosis then it should be considered. If the decrease in morbidly comes at a very steep cost then that must also be considered.
