For ROSE with a robotic microscope without on-site cytology personnel, all personnel participating in on-site evaluation, including non-pathology physicians like radiologists, need to be trained, and the training must be verified for proficiency and documented before clinical use.

Dr. Lin discusses in detail each telecytology platform, available hardware and software, advantages and disadvantages, as well as validation. His article is recommended reading for cytopathologists and their laboratory colleagues.

Dr. Baskota, a member of the CAP Cytopathology Committee until Dec. 31, 2020, is a cytopathology fellow at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
