What's the difference between a CRH Stimulation Test and a ACTH Stimulation Test?

What's the difference between a CRH Stimulation Test and a ACTH Stimulation Test?

My doctor is having me tested for the CRH Stimulation Test rather than the ACTH? Is there a difference? Should I be concerned that he didn't have the ACTH done first? I really don't know much about the adrenal glands.
