Medical - Medical (general)
Italian term or phrase: valutazioni strumentali
Non sono previste valutazioni strumentali di alcun tipo.

My guess is the following (I'm not confident about it though!):
"No diagnostic examinations of any kind are included."

Thank you!

Explanation:
Hi Lizzy,

You're on the right track. When at the hospital in Bologna (where I worked) we referred to "valutazioni strumentali", we meant what here in the US we call "diagnostic tests".

The word "instrumental" in this context is a false friend (see definition below), and should be avoided.

Good luck,

Elena
