Review of different platforms to perform rapid onsite evaluation via telecytology.
Keluo YaoZaibo LiPublished in: Cytopathology : official journal of the British Society for Clinical Cytology (2020)
There is increased utilisation of cytopathology to provide a rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) of fine needle aspiration and touch preparations of small biopsies. A well-executed ROSE procedure can significantly impact the diagnostic quality and appropriate specimen triage of procured biopsy materials. To accommodate the demand for ROSE, telecytology has been increasingly implemented to facilitate ROSE occurring remotely. Telecytology can be categorised based on camera systems including eyepiece system, camera port system and robotic microscope/whole slide image scanner system. Image sharing methods include static images, broadcast only live video streaming, teleconferencing and whole slide image management system. In this review, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each of these systems and deployment considerations.
