Comparison of glass slides and various digital ‐slide modalities for cytopathology screening and interpretation

CONCLUSIONSThe Aperio whole‐slide scanner with 1 z‐plane scanning and the Panoptiq imaging system with z‐stacking are both suitable for cytopathology screening and interpretation. However, ROI z‐stacks do offer a superior mechanism for overcoming focusing problems commonly encountered with digital cytology slides. Unlike whole‐slide imaging, the acquisition of representative z‐stack images with the Panoptiq system requires a trained cytologist to create digital files.
