Medical and Diagnostic Laboratories

Establishments in the Medical and Diagnostic Laboratories industry primarily engage in providing analytic or diagnostic services, including body fluid analysis, diagnostic imaging, and other diagnostic tests. These services are typically performed on medical specimens to provide information on the health of a patient. The defining characteristic of this industry is the provision of diagnostic services that support medical practitioners in diagnosing and treating diseases, distinguishing it from industries focused on direct patient care or the manufacturing of medical equipment.
