Abstract
Given knowledge of a test's sensitivity and specificity, physicians may use Bayes' theorem to appropriately modify their initial assessment of the likelihood of disease subsequent to obtaining a positive or negative test result. A graphical representation of Bayes' theorem was constructed in order to provide a simple tool to aid in the selection and interpretation of diagnostic tests.
