I don't know.  There are specific tests that can isolate Cushing's
disease, but even they are subject to some false positives, as there are
a few situations in which results consistent with Cushing's disease may
appear in the absence of that disease (obesity, depression, etc.--these
may be effects or causes).  Other tests may be consistent with Cushing's
syndrome, but they don't necessarily indicate the presence of the
disease.

In the case of Cushing's syndrome, then, obviously it's a matter of
clinical interpretation, since it isn't a disease itself.
