Interdisciplinary Approaches to Early Disease Detection: The Role of Medical Laboratories, Dental Health, and Radiological Imaging

Abstract

Early detection of diseases significantly enhances treatment outcomes, reduces healthcare costs, and improves patients’ quality of life. This paper explores the pivotal role of interdisciplinary collaboration between medical laboratories, dental health practitioners, and radiological imaging in achieving timely diagnosis. We examine how these disciplines contribute individually and collectively, providing a framework for an integrated approach to health care. Emerging technologies, data integration, and challenges in adopting such interdisciplinary strategies are also discussed, with a focus on future directions in precision medicine and patient-centred.
