Study Notes

Hematology Overview

Hematology is the field of study that focuses on the development of cells and diseases of blood.

Laboratory Details

CBC stands for Complete Blood Count.
Medical Technologists (MTs) and Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLTs) play a major role in patient care in the hematology laboratory.

Purpose and Function

The primary function of the hematology laboratory is to analyze blood samples to diagnose and monitor various blood-related disorders.
The main purpose of the hematology laboratory is to provide accurate test results to aid in disease diagnosis and treatment.

Etymology

The term 'hematology' consists of two words: 'hemo' meaning blood and 'logy' meaning study.
The term 'hematology' originates from two Greek words: 'haima' meaning blood and 'logos' meaning study.
