Fatigue Experienced by Cytology Screeners Reading Conventional and Liquid Based Slides
Published in Philip D. Bust, Contemporary Ergonomics 2006, 2020
Liquid Based Cytology (LBC) has been shown to address some of the problems of the “Pap” test (McGoogan and Reith, 1996, Moss et al, 2002). The cervical cells are still collected in a similar way, but the part of the spatula containing the cells is broken off in a tube of preservative fluid. This is then sent to the laboratory where it is spun to reduce unwanted material. A single layer of cell suspension is then deposited onto the slide and automatically stained. A cytology primary screener then examines the slide.

There are three types of cervical screening tests that females can apply for. They are: the visual inspection test with the use of acetic acid, the conventional PAP test and liquid-based cytology, and the HPV DNA test for the dangerous HPV virus [9].

Despite the constant updating of professionals and the assessment protocols required by the scientific community, conventional cytology still has limitations due to the number of cells, inflammatory agents, and overlaps. Meantime, liquid-based cytology images are more homogeneous and easier to analyse. The visual interpretation of a conventional cytology slide is time-consuming, involves interpretative evaluations, and requires much technical knowledge from the professional. Therefore to improve the quality of the results and support the professional service, it is possible to include methodologies to augment and rank the different lesions for later cytopathologist evaluation. In computer-assisted cervical cancer screening, nuclei detection is introduced to facilitate image analysis by extracting meaningful information.
