DESCRIPTION

adjunctive studies in solving diagnostic problems wherever appropriate,
explain the clinical significance of the various diagnoses and their impact on patient management, highlighting
key clinical and management points throughout – giving you the broad context you need to generate the most
accurate pathology reports for every patient.
