Diagnostic Efficiency of Needle Core Biopsy Touch Imprints Versus Fine Needle Aspiration Smears at the Time of Rapid on Site Interpretation
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Cytologic techniques used for rapid on site interpretation for Diagnostic Self Evaluation. Completed, enrolled 47 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Cytopathologists work along with radiologist in the diagnosis of lesions. Rapid on site interpretation (ROSE) of fine needle aspiration (FNA) smears of radiologically suspicious lesions is a common clinical practice. In the last years, the investigators have seen trend towards needle core biopsies of radiologically suspicious lesions. The investigators want to analyze the challenges of rapid on site interpretation of touch imprints (TI) of needle core biopsies (NCB) versus fine needle aspiration smears.
