The term "workup" is commonly used in medical and diagnostic contexts to refer to a series of tests, procedures or examinations performed on a patient to gather information about their condition. This may include blood work, imaging studies such as X-rays or MRIs, and other diagnostic measures that help doctors determine the nature and severity of an illness or injury. The term "workup" can also be used more broadly in non-medical contexts to refer to a thorough investigation or analysis of something, often involving research, data collection, and evaluation.
