Cytology

Individual cells are studied in cytology, to detect diseases. This test involves assessing the number of cells, what types of cells they are, how they are categorized together, and what the cell features are under the microscope. This data is crucial in assessing whether a disease is present and, if so, what the most likely diagnosis is. Types of Cytology are Aspirate Cytology, Fine Needle Aspirate, Liquid Based Cytology, Papanicolaou /Cervical Smears and Urine Cytology.
