Italian term or phrase: completamento
'Completamento' in the context of diagnostic procedures (I myself asked a question about 'completamento' earlier this year, but in a different context).

This is from a CT scan report. The report gives the findings, then states: "Opportuna consulenza specialistica ed eventuale *completamento* diagnostico mediante esame cistoscopico".

How would we translate this 'completamento' in this case?

Grazie 1000!
