Cytology vs Histopathology: When and How to Use Each Effectively

Cytology and histopathology are two of the most important diagnostic tools in veterinary pathology, each offering unique advantages in disease investigation. This webinar provides a practical comparison of both techniques, focusing on their indications, sample collection methods, diagnostic value, limitations, and clinical applications. Participants will learn how to select the most appropriate diagnostic approach for different lesions and disease conditions, interpret findings effectively, and understand when cytology should be supplemented by histopathology. The session also discusses common pitfalls, sample quality issues, and case-based examples that illustrate the complementary role of both methods. Designed for veterinary students, interns, pathology residents, and practicing veterinarians, this webinar offers practical guidance for improving diagnostic accuracy.
