: also possible, yes, but I don't see anything wrong with the simple 'lab report'

You're right, lirka. I just thought I'll try to include the '-ärztlich-' part of the source term in translation, so added the 'clinical' qualifier.

physician's report of laboratory findings
(Why not be literal? What is the compulsion to gloss over the disclosure that the author clearly intended?)
A "report of findings" is different from a "report", in that it discloses whether in the supervising physician's opinion the results were normal, and if abnormal the extent to which they were abnormal, and gives clinical conclusions about possible diagnoses, especially differential diagnoses. I don't deny that a "laboratory report" may contain these elements, but not to the extent of and with the authority of the supervising physician. That is the difference between a technician's report and a physician's report.

The task is to translate the source. I agree that typically no physician is actually involved in a routine lab report. Therefore it isn't called a "physician's report". But that's not what the source text says!

Interpreting Laboratory Test Results
A laboratory test is a medical procedure in which a sample of blood, urine, or other tissues or substances in the body is checked for certain features. Such tests are often used as part of a routine checkup to identify possible changes in a person’s health before any symptoms appear. Laboratory tests also play an important role in diagnosis when a person has symptoms.
