A DIGITAL IMAGE IN THE PRACTICE OF CYTOLOGY: A PILOT STUDY
Cytological study is a highly specialized type of laboratory analysis of the cellular composition of biological material and is to assess the morphological characteristics of cellular elements. The modern development of digital technologies is increasingly forming the interest of specialists to such a section as telepathology (digital pathology), which is a process of virtual microscopy with the transformation of classical cytological preparations into digital. Most morphologists currently use some forms of digital imaging, such as static images obtained by optical cameras mounted under a microscope. The development of more high quality image and resolution in the digital pathology promotes the use of telepathology, including telecitology in their daily work for training specialists, counselling of medications, monitoring the quality of diagnosis.
