This paper attempts to answer the following four questions: Why test? What tests? Whom to test? and What costs? The author briefly reviews the reasons that physicians order tests and the currently acceptable and unacceptable indications and procedures for non-invasive vascular diagnostic testing. The background for economic analysis, including cost-benefit or cost-effective analysis, is reviewed. Finally, a Medline literature search of articles addressing the cost-effectiveness of non-invasive vascular techniques provides a basis for classification of these tests based on economic analysis.
为何进行检测？进行何种检测？检测对象是谁？以及成本多少？作者简要回顾了医生开具检测的原因以及目前无创血管诊断检测的可接受和不可接受的适应症及程序。对经济分析的背景进行了回顾，包括成本效益或成本效果分析。最后，通过对Medline文献中有关无创血管技术成本效果的文章进行检索，为基于经济分析对这些检测进行分类提供了依据。
