A comparison of screening times between the ThinPrep Imager and conventional cytology.

30 Aug 2009 This small prospective study compared the time cytologists spend reviewing cervical cytology slides processed by the ThinPrep Imager (TPI) with screening times for conventional cytology slides (CS), to determine the effect, if any, of the TPI on ... Read more...

High-risk HPV DNA detected in less than 2% of over 25,000 cytology negative imaged liquid-based Pap test samples from women 30 and older.

5 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to document the prevalence of high-risk HPV DNA (HPV) in the largest cohort of woman studied to date with negative ThinPrep Imaging system (TIS)-imaged Pap tests. METHODS: Women with negative (TIS)-imaged ... Read more...
