Improvement in the quality of gynaecological smears using a cytobrush
The New Zealand Medical Journal
|August 26, 1987
Abstract:
For accurate cervical cytology an adequate sample of cells must be obtained from the squamocolumnar junction. In 100 patients conventional smears were compared with smears and membrane filter preparations made using a cytobrush. A satisfactory cell smear was obtained in 39% of patients using the conventional method and in 97% the cytobrush. When membrane filter preparations were used in conjunction with cytobrush smears, adequate cytological samples were obtained from all patients.
