Overview

Diagnostic pathology or pathology tests involve the detailed examination of tissue or cell specimens that have been collected from patients, to make a diagnosis based on the histology or cytology. It also includes autopsy examinations that are performed to determine the cause of death.

To make a proper diagnosis, it is necessary to perform appropriate pathology tests accurately and quickly. The histology or autopsy diagnoses are checked by various pathologists, while all cytology diagnoses made by cytotechnologists are checked by a physician specialized in cytology. To assure that the diagnoses we make are relevant, we proactively organize clinico-pathological conferences and other review sessions with clinical departments, and also consult external specialists.
