ABSTRACT

Microscopic evaluation of cytologic specimens can provide rapid diagnostic information and aid in formulating diagnostic and treatment plans. The primary benefit of cytologic evaluation is the rapid collection, processing, and evaluation of samples. However, physical transport of glass slides and body fluids to a diagnostic laboratory takes time and can negatively affect patient management. Digital cytology allows specimens to be processed in the clinic and immediately sent to pathologists. With technology becoming more affordable, digital cytology is revolutionizing the field of clinical pathology and patient care.
