Revolutionizing Veterinary Diagnostics: Live Clinical Pathology with Cellfie

Innovative technology now enables a board-certified clinical pathologist to have remote access to an in-clinic microscope and evaluate in real time routine cytology samples such as fine needle aspirates from skin masses, organs, body cavity fluids, lymph nodes, bone marrow aspirates, urinalysis and fecals during the physical exam. Clinicians can receive a preliminary diagnosis within 30 min of sample submission, while the patient is still in the clinic. This lecture also covers an overview of best practices for sample collection and preparation techniques.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the importance of sample preparation and staining to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
2. Review basic sample collection methods.
3. Overview of collecting clinical pathology samples during the physical exam.
4. Current cytology option advantages and disadvantages of each.
5. Workflow overview between the clinician and clinical pathologist in real time.
