Take our lab tour: Laboratory tests play a vital role in helping physicians screen, diagnose and treat their patients. To run a laboratory test, a patient sample is needed. Different tests require different sample types, so this may be blood or urine, some cells or tissue. But do you know what happens after your sample is collected? Each sample is analyzed in our laboratory by trained lab technicians using sophisticated instruments, and once the test is complete, we send the test result to your physician. |
