This comprehensive and practical guide demonstrates how to perform the clinical calculations used in each area of the laboratory to ensure accurate patient results. The book's three major sections cover basic mathematical principles, calculations for specific areas of the clinical laboratory, and statistical calculations used to test instrument performance. Each chapter addresses a particular mathematical calculation, and the well-organized format emphasizes an in-depth understanding of these calculations rather than straight memorization. Step-by-step examples reinforce the overall concepts, and calculation "templates" ensure correct calculations every time.
