We have correlated imprint cytology findings in thyroid tumors to the results of preoperative fine needle aspiration and operative specimen histology. Specificity of imprint cytology proved greater than that of fine needle aspiration cytology and topographic correlations were particularly helpful. Imprint cytology can improve the intraoperative histologic diagnosis. Because abundant cells are available, imprint thyroid cytology is ideal for teaching and training cytologists. Imprint cytology provides enough cells to perform special techniques, such as quantitative cytology, that are useful for the diagnosis of some tumor varieties (e.g. follicular tumors).
我们已将甲状腺肿瘤的印片细胞学检查结果与术前细针穿刺及手术标本组织学结果进行了关联。印片细胞学的特异性经证实高于细针穿刺细胞学，且拓扑学关联尤为有用。印片细胞学可改善术中组织学诊断。由于有大量细胞可供使用，甲状腺印片细胞学对于细胞学专家的教学和培训而言是理想之选。印片细胞学可提供足够的细胞来开展特殊技术，如定量细胞学，这对某些肿瘤类型（如滤泡性肿瘤）的诊断很有用。
