What is the least useful endo diagnostic test in children?

MRI
X-Ray
EPT
CT Scan

The correct answer is: EPT

The EPT, or Evoked Potentials Test, is a test that measures the electrical activity in the brain in response to various stimuli. While this test can be useful in diagnosing certain neurological conditions, it is not typically used as a primary diagnostic tool. This is why it is considered the least useful endo diagnostic test in children. As for the other options, they all have their own benefits and purposes. MRI uses magnetic fields to produce detailed images of the body's structures, making it a useful tool to diagnose various conditions. X-rays use radiation to produce images of bones and tissues, and while it is not as detailed as an MRI or CT scan, it can still be helpful in identifying fractures or other issues in children. CT scans use X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body, and can be a useful diagnostic tool in certain situations. Therefore, while the EPT may not be the most useful, it does not necessarily mean that the other options are not valuable in the diagnostic process.
