Focus on technology: How important is resolution in telecytopathology?

abstract：BACKGROUND:The Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology has recently published a new proposal for pancreaticobiliary cytology terminology. For the current study, the authors applied this new classification for pancreaticobiliary cytology to a set of previously diagnosed endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspir...
