Technology Impact: Potential Directions for Laboratory Medicine.

Abstract

A conference, held in New York (N.Y.) in September 1983, drew together physicians (cardiologists, immunologists) and analytical scientists (clinical chemists, biomedical engineers) to discuss information critical to the ongoing development of new directions and applications of diagnostic monitoring. In recent years rapid progress has been made in understanding the biochemical and molecular biological pathogenesis of disease processes. Because of this vast expansion of our ability to diagnose and monitor human disease, new approaches to disease prevention and therapy are now emerging. Sessions were presented on the following topics: flow cytometry and cell sorting, elemental analysis by physical techniques (energy dispersive x-ray analysis), protein indexing, automation in microbiology, and in situ monitoring.
