This book describes and illustrates conventional and liquid-based cytology and emphasizes the differences between the two. Colour micrograph images and clear lists of key features are presented, making this book an ideal bench top reference.
As liquid based cytology is rolled out nationally, all laboratory staff reporting cervical screening tests will need to undergo retraining. Cervical Cytology aims to support this retraining by developing practical skills and advancing understanding of the techniques.
