Rapid strep test. The rapid strep test (RST) is a rapid antigen detection test (RADT) that is widely used in clinics to assist in the diagnosis of bacterial pharyngitis caused by group A streptococci (GAS), sometimes termed strep throat. There are currently several types of rapid strep test in use, each employing a distinct technology.
Few examples are: 1  Chest x-ray, pulse oximetry and sputum test for pneumonia. 2  Lumbar puncture, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Computerized tomography (CT) scan for meningitis. 3  The rapid antigen test and the throat culture for strep throat. 4  Rapid influenza diagnostic tests and symptom analysis for influenza.
