Penapisan (kedokteran)
Dalam kedokteran, penapisan atau penyaringan (bahasa Inggris: screening) adalah cara yang digunakan untuk mencari keadaan atau penanda risiko yang belum diketahui.[1][2][3] Pengujian ini dapat diterapkan kepada individu atau seluruh populasi. Orang yang diuji mungkin tidak menunjukkan tanda atau gejala penyakit apa pun atau menunjukkan satu atau dua gejala yang dengan sendirinya tidak menunjukkan diagnosis yang pasti.
