Role of Touch Imprint Cytology of Needle Core Biopsies in Adequacy Assessment: Change in Practice Pattern Vijayalakshmi Padmanabhan, MBBS, MD, MPH Baylor College of Medicine Ben Taub General Hospital Houston, Texas Vijayalakshmi Padmanabhan, MBBS, MD, MPH
Needle core biopsies (NCB) are replacing classic FNA in many institutions across the US, and intra-procedural cytological assessment of the touch imprint (TI) cytology of NCB is often requested by radiologists. In this webinar we will discuss the role of TI cytology of skinny NCB in adequacy assessment- preparing the specimen, differentiating the morphological features from classic FNA and the advantages and pitfalls of this technique.

Michele Smith, MS, SCT(ASCP)
ICD-10 has been on the minds of US healthcare professionals for several years, and finally went live in October 2015. This webinar will discuss the first year of ICD-10 coding successes and challenges in the cytopathology laboratory. Additionally, the webinar will look at proposed changes for October 2016 so that cytopathology professionals are able to work with both clinical and revenue integrity staff in effort to coordinate a smooth transition.
