Summary
Summary
This comprehensive landmark book describes the technology of the future in diagnostic medicine, how to integrate it into the modern hospital and how to work with people to adapt, change and plan for a smooth transition to a fully robotic laboratory. Features an extensive section on point-of-care testing along with a modern perspective of how this will transform medicine. Global experts in their fields have authored all chapters which include a unique one on machine vision and another (with several plates) that discusses the automation of a clinical laboratory in Japan.
