You guys tell your pathologists to listen to Dr. Hessler - he taught me how to do these preparations, and the basics of interpreting them, when I did a locum tenens for him at the Medical College of Georgia (in Augusta) 6 years ago. I did a lot of them when I got a full time job at a place that did a lot of neurosurgical pathology, a year later.
Bob Richmond Samurai Pathologist Knoxville TN ********************* There is nothing you can do to make brain frozen sections acceptable. Your Pathologists need to learn how to read smears, or just accept being wrong 50% of the time. An educated guess based on the imaging is more accurate than frozen sections on intra-axial primary brain tumors.
