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.
细胞学检查的应用日益增多,可对细针抽吸和小活检的即时现场评估(ROSE)进行快速评估。执行良好的 ROSE 程序可以显著影响获取活检材料的诊断质量和适当标本分类。为了满足 ROSE 的需求,远程细胞学检查(telecytology)已经越来越多地应用于 ROSE。远程细胞学检查可根据摄像系统进行分类,包括目镜系统、摄像端口系统和机器人显微镜/全玻片图像扫描仪系统。图像共享方法包括静态图像、仅广播实时视频流、远程会议和全玻片图像管理系统。在这篇综述中,我们将讨论这些系统的优缺点以及部署注意事项。
