Histo/Cytopathology Slide/Block Issue Test Cost and Procedure

This test aids the pathologist in detecting all the diseases at their initial stages.

What is Cytopathology?

It is one of the most common methods of diagnosing a disease. This can be used to diagnose illness in any part of the body. In this test, body fluid or a portion of tissue is taken by the physician for further examination. Electron microscopy is used to accomplish this test

What is slide and block in the biopsy?

When any surgery is done, or biopsy is done, the physician takes off the diseased part of the tissue and sends it for further examination. This portion of diseased tissue is called Tissue Block. The pathologist then cuts off the tissue into thin layers and examines it under an electron microscope. What is a cell block technique? This is a technique that is used in histopathology.

Methods used for cell blocks:

• Saline and needle rinse method
• Shandon Cytoblock method
• Fixed sediment method
• Plasma thrombin method
• Collodion bag method
• The Histone method

Histopathology is also known as Cytology. Diseases are easily diagnosed by this method. This can be used to diagnose illness in any part of the body. In this test, body fluid or a portion of tissue is taken by the physician for further examination.

Studying microorganisms like viruses, ruses, and other pathogens by electron microscopes has made treating diseases very effective.

Electron microscopy is of the following types- Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy

Benefits of cell blocks

• Helps in recognition of pattern
• Sub-classification
• Features are identifying Diagnosis.
• This also helps the pathologist to recognize the pathogen involved in the disease pathology.
• Cell blocks are extensively used these days by pathologists for the detection of various diseases. It eases the problem of different blood samples required. The
