Visit the CAP topic centers focused on the following: Experience a new way of seeing whole slide images for our education programs. Educational programs, many of which offer continuing medical education credits, designed to improve the effectiveness of …

This program offers at least two challenging cases each month from the CAP Performance Improvement Program in Surgical Pathology. For each case, you will use a virtual microscope whole slide image of a surgical specimen to diagnose diseases.

Jun 10, 2024 · Examine dermatology biopsy slides and establish the diagnosis by integration of clinical information and morphologic findings. Explain the histologic features of dermatologic entities. Use ancillary studies and techniques, when needed, to distinguish entities in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions.

The "Validating Whole Slide Imaging for Diagnostic Purposes in Pathology: Guideline Update” helps pathologists and laboratories confirm diagnostic accuracy and equivalence with light microscopy of WSI systems before they are actually used for diagnostic purposes.

When the kneecap slips out of the groove, recurrent instability (the kneecap dislocates often) and pain may result. The kneecap connects the muscles in the front of the thigh to the shinbone (tibia). As you bend or straighten your leg, the kneecap is pulled up or down.

Each slide is screened by CAP staff cytotechnologists and scrutinized by three board-certified pathologists, who must concur with the reference diagnosis for acceptance of the slide into the program. In addition, slides must meet the following criteria:

Jun 26, 2023 · If your kneecap pops or slides to the outside of your knee, you'll definitely know that something's going on. Typically, that "something" is a partial or full dislocation, which means the kneecap, also known as the patella, has slipped partly …

Dec 6, 2024 · Whole slide images (WSI) are one of the newest technological developments in pathology review and are currently being implemented in histology laboratories worldwide. Over the next decade it is believed WSI will be the primary means of providing images to pathologists for diagnostic interpretation.

May 13, 2024 · This activity features five challenging cases in which you will review whole slide images of peripheral blood, bone marrow aspirates, and core biopsies, as well as surgical specimens. You will be presented with information on each case including clinical history, specimen source information, diagnostic findings and other ancillary testing data ...

One of the most common types of knee injuries —especially in children and teens — is a dislocated kneecap, medically known as patellar dislocation. How can you tell if you’ve dislocated your knee cap? And what do you do to make it better?
