Modern medicine, with its expanding scale and greater specialization, has made it difficult for any one doctor to do all the necessary clinical tests or measurements by himself, because of the increase in kind and number of tests which require skilled technicians and many expensive, delicate and complex electronic instruments.

The new central laboratory system in large hospitals, which includes laboratory tests, physiological tests, endoscopy, X-ray examination and radio-isotope tests, owes its development to medical electronics and vice versa.
General survey of the medical electronic apparatus for clinical diagnosis, several requests on the design of clinical laboratory and medical electronic instruments, a tentative recommendation of electronic installation in hospitals and some future prospects of the diagnostic system are described.
