"Studies the presence and cause of disease in body tissues, fluids, and cells."

A medical laboratory technologist (clinical laboratory scientist) performs and analyzes laboratory tests on blood, urine, tissues and other specimens to detect, diagnose and monitor disease. They do not operate MRI or X‑ray equipment or interpret imaging reports (those are done by MRI/radiologic technologists and radiologists).
