Abstract
CONTEXT: Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) optimises the performance of cytology, but requires skilled handling, and smearing can make the material unavailable for some ancillary tests. There is a need to facilitate ROSE without sacrificing part of the sample.Entities:
Keywords: deconvolution; fine-needle aspiration; fluorescence microscopy; optical sectioning; rapid on-site evaluation
