Mosby’s® Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests

This book provides the user with an up-to-date, extensive manual that allows rapid access to clinically relevant laboratory and diagnostic tests. A unique feature of this manual is its consistent format, which provides a comprehensive approach to laboratory and diagnostic tests. Tests are categorized according to either the method of testing (eg, x-ray, ultrasound, nuclear scan) or the type of specimen (eg, blood, urine, stool) used for testing. Every chapter of this book is based on this categorization. Each chapter begins with an alphabetical listing of all tests in the chapter to aid the user in locating discussions quickly. An overview follows the list and contains general information concerning test methods and related patient care.
