Assessing Slide Coverage by Cytoscreeners during the Primary Screening of Cervical Smears, Using the AxioHOMEⓇ Microscope System

Assessing Slide Coverage by Cytoscreeners during the Primary Screening of Cervical Smears, Using the AxioHOMEⓇ Microscope System

We have used the HOME Microscope system to examine the screening patterns of cytotechnologists who undertake the primary screening of cervical smears, in order to measure accuracy of screening against screening time, slide coverage, and mean screening rate. Twelve cytotechnologists engaged routinely...

They were asked to perform primary screening of 10 test slides under normal laboratory conditions in the normal way. Slide coverage and screening time were recorded on the HOME system. Slide maps were prepared and the results analysed.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/1997/953513
