The Art & Science of Cytopathology (Volume 1)

The two volumes beautifully designed and produced feature some 1,600 color images illustrating every aspect of diagnostic cytopathology, along with 673 tables and 58 illustrations designed to communicate information about basic cell types and differential morphology. Fundamental principles are taught, then applied to diagnostic processes. Volume I on exfoliative cytology contains chapters on the microscope, stains, statistics, the cell, the Pap smear, respiratory cytology, fluids, the gastrointestinal tract, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. The second volume focuses on current and emerging issues in FNA cytology, with chapters that explore the major organ systems. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
