How is Immediate Cytology Performed?

The process of immediate cytology involves several steps:
Sample Collection: A sample is collected using techniques such as FNA or biopsy.
Smear Preparation: The collected sample is spread onto a glass slide to create a smear.
Staining: The smear is quickly stained using rapid staining protocols, such as Diff-Quik or Giemsa stain.
Microscopic Examination: A cytologist or pathologist examines the stained smear under a microscope to assess the cellular details.
Feedback: Immediate feedback is provided to the clinician regarding the adequacy of the sample and a preliminary diagnosis.
