Parasitology
Parasitology, within the realm of medical technology, focuses on the study of parasites and their impact on human health. This field involves the identification, diagnosis, and treatment of various parasitic infections that affect individuals worldwide. Medical technologists specializing in parasitology employ a range of laboratory techniques to detect parasites in clinical specimens, such as blood, stool, and tissue samples. They utilize microscopes, serological tests, and molecular methods to identify different types of parasites and determine the appropriate treatment options. By understanding the lifecycle and characteristics of parasites, medical technologists play a crucial role in preventing, diagnosing, and managing parasitic diseases, ultimately contributing to the overall health and well-being of patients
