You can submit stained or unstained glass slides of cytology reparations, or digital microscopic images obtained via your smart phone, digital camera, or slide scanner. For blood cytology, we will also evaluate the cytograms (dot plots).
We will evaluate individual and serial numerical reports and graphics from in-house hematology analyzers, and numerical values from serum chemistry profiles. Information from CBCs, chemistry profiles, urinalysis, and other clinical pathology tests will be integrated in order to generate a short list of differential diagnoses and additional diagnostic procedures.
