INTRODUCTION Telecytology is the practice of cytology at a distance. The images captured by a camera are sent to the cytopathologist at a different location who views the images and reaches a diagnosis. Recently, smartphone-assisted telepathology has been evaluated for different subspecialities of pathology including cytology for second opinion. MATERIALS AND METHODS For the purpose of the study, a total of 151 cases of fine needle aspiration and 10 cases of urine cytology reported by a single pathologist were retrieved from the records. The images of all the cases were captured by a trained pathologist using the primary camera of a smartphone from the ocular of a binocular microscope. The images were sent by WhatsApp to the same pathologist who had made the conventional microscopy diagnosis. The images were viewed on the smartphone screen by the pathologist who replied with the diagnosis after analysing all the images with or without digital zoom. RESULTS A total of 154 cases out of 161 were correctly diagnosed on smartphone-assisted telepathology (overall intraobserver concordance of 95.6%). For head and neck swellings, the concordance was 65/70 (92.9%), for breast lesions, it was 23/24 (95.8%), and for miscellaneous swellings, it was 57/57 (100%). For urine cytology, the concordance rate was 9/10 (90%). CONCLUSION Though the results of this study are encouraging, further improvement in the smartphone camera resolution and internet connectivity would enhance the utility of smartphone-assisted telecytopathology.

智能手机辅助的远距细胞病理学:观察者内一致性研究。

引言细胞学是远距离细胞学的实践。摄像机捕获的图像将被发送到其他位置的细胞病理学家,后者会查看图像并进行诊断。近来,已经对智能手机辅助的远程病理学进行了病理学的不同亚专业评估,包括细胞学以供第二意见。材料和方法出于研究的目的,从记录中检索了总共151例细针穿刺病例和10例尿液细胞学病例,这是由单个病理学家报告的。所有病例的图像均由训练有素的病理学家使用智能手机的主摄像头从双目显微镜的眼睛捕获。图像由WhatsApp发送给进行常规显微镜诊断的同一位病理学家。病理学家在智能手机屏幕上查看了这些图像,在分析了所有具有或不具有数字变焦的图像后,病理学家对诊断做出了答复。结果在161例中,共有154例通过智能手机辅助病理诊断正确诊断(总体观察者内部一致性为95.6%)。对于头颈部肿胀,一致性为65/70(92.9%),对于乳腺病变,一致性为23/24(95.8%),对于其他肿胀,一致性为57/57(100%)。对于尿液细胞学检查,一致性率为9/10(90%)。结论尽管这项研究的结果令人鼓舞,但智能手机相机分辨率和互联网连接的进一步改善将增强智能手机辅助的远距细胞病理学的实用性。结果在161例中,共有154例通过智能手机辅助病理诊断正确诊断(总体观察者内部一致性为95.6%)。对于头颈部肿胀,一致性为65/70(92.9%),对于乳腺病变,一致性为23/24(95.8%),对于其他肿胀,一致性为57/57(100%)。对于尿液细胞学检查,一致性率为9/10(90%)。结论尽管这项研究的结果令人鼓舞,但智能手机相机分辨率和互联网连接的进一步改善将增强智能手机辅助的远距细胞病理学的实用性。结果在161例中,共有154例通过智能手机辅助的病理病理学得到了正确诊断(总体观察者内部一致性为95.6%)。对于头颈部肿胀,一致性为65/70(92.9%),对于乳腺病变,一致性为23/24(95.8%),对于其他肿胀,一致性为57/57(100%)。对于尿液细胞学检查,一致性率为9/10(90%)。结论尽管这项研究的结果令人鼓舞,但智能手机相机分辨率和互联网连接的进一步改善将增强智能手机辅助的远距细胞病理学的实用性。是57/57(100%)。对于尿液细胞学检查,一致性率为9/10(90%)。结论尽管这项研究的结果令人鼓舞,但智能手机相机分辨率和互联网连接的进一步改善将增强智能手机辅助的远距细胞病理学的实用性。是57/57(100%)。对于尿液细胞学检查,一致性率为9/10(90%)。结论尽管这项研究的结果令人鼓舞,但智能手机相机分辨率和互联网连接的进一步改善将增强智能手机辅助的远距细胞病理学的实用性。
