Clinical pathology with clinical correlation

From digital cytology to post-mortem case review, DVM STAT Pathology gives you the “what” and the “what next” — so you can make the best decisions for your patients and clients.
How Telecytology Works
Step 1 – Capture Your Images
Take 3–6 pictures or short videos (30–60 seconds each) at 100x magnification
Scan slowly across the slide, pausing on areas with concentrated, relevant cells
Optional: Take only still images if the sample is sparse
Step 2 – Focus Your Scan
Review slides at 10x and 40x first to identify the best areas for high-magnification imaging
Step 3 – Upload Your Files
Transfer videos to your computer and label clearly by site (e.g., “Spleen 1,” “Liver 2”)
Upload through the DVM STAT portal with a case history and your clinical question
