With the introduction of digital imaging, pathology is undergoing a digital transformation. In the field of cytology, digital images are being used for telecytology, automated screening of Pap test slides, training and education (e.g. online digital atlases), and proficiency testing. To date, there has been no systematic review on the impact of digital imaging on the practice of cytopathology. This article critically addresses the emerging role of computer-assisted screening and the application of digital imaging to the field of cytology, including telecytology, virtual microscopy, and the impact of online cytology resources. The role of novel diagnostic techniques like image cytometry is also reviewed.
随着数字成像技术的引入，病理学正在经历数字化转型。在细胞学领域，数字图像正被用于远程细胞学、巴氏涂片检测玻片的自动筛查、培训与教育（如在线数字图谱）以及能力验证。迄今为止，尚未有关于数字成像对细胞病理学实践影响的系统综述。本文批判性地探讨了计算机辅助筛查的新兴作用以及数字成像在细胞学领域的应用，包括远程细胞学、虚拟显微镜检查，以及在线细胞学资源的影响。还综述了图像细胞术等新型诊断技术的作用。
