Operation of the Review Scope
SECTION
A OVERVIEW
®
ThinPrep Pap Test cervical cytology sample slides processed by the ThinPrep Imaging System are
reviewed at the Review Scope (RS). Slide review by a cytotechnologist is assisted by automated fea-
tures. (Refer to Figure 3-1 for typical slide review process.)
Auto Review
In this manual, Auto Review refers to a slide review in which the RS
• scans the ID number from the slide
• communicates with the server for appropriate slide data record
• makes use of the Autolocate function (where the 22 fields of view identified by the Image Pro-
cessor are presented to the cytotechnologist, CT)
• makes use of the Autoscan function, as required or desired
• uploads slide data record to the server at conclusion of slide review
Subsequent Review
A slide that has undergone Auto Review may be reviewed again, making use of the Autolocate,
review and Autoscan functions. Further marks may be added (to a maximum of 30 marks on a slide),
but no previous marks may be removed. The slide data record will be revised at the Server at the con-
clusion of the review.
Note:
Slides previously screened either via auto review or manually may always be examined again
in manual mode.
