CytoProcessor® - Annette's Case n°16

Cervical Cancer Screening in 2025

Isn't it amazing to be a CytoTechnologist or Cyto-Pathologist today?

Not only for the innovations that have been done to technically optimize the microscopical slides, significantly optimizing both quality and quantity. 

And to top it off, the introduction of Digital Cytology (Datexim is the 1st in the world with CE-mark), where Artificial Intelligence aids you as a CytoTechnologist to pre-select the most diagnostically relevant cells and even the 4 most common microorganisms. 

With the added advantage that you can now easily and quickly identify the cells in a user-friendly customizable interface on an HD screen AND the fact that the cells can be judged even better on the HD-screen than by a light microscope. Picture # 1

You no longer must look for that “one needle in a haystack”, because CytoProcessor selects those few abnormal cells and sorts these cells by relevance to quickly and accurate diagnose the slides. Even a few Mycosis hyphae are detected by CytoProcessor. Picture # 2

And that's not all! 

You are no longer tied to a fixed place where there is a microscope to screen the entire slides, but you can do the diagnostics in an ergonomically relaxed way. 

Or in the laboratory or at your home or there where is an internet connection. Picture # 3

Despite these improvements the amazing fact is that your role as a Cytologist or CytoPathologist has not changed in that, because it is up to you to make the diagnosis! 

Your knowledge of cells, and the use of the clinical data is indispensable for making a reliably accurate diagnosis every day again for the women behind the PAP-smears. 


Thanks to you CytoTechnologist / Cyto-Pathologist and to CytoProcessor! 

 

Diagnosing with CytoProcessor is demonstrated to be faster and brings higher sensitivity. 

 What more could you want as a CytoTechnologist?
