Whats the difference between a slide papsmear or liquid papsmear. meaning a slide or a swab put in a vial of liquid. which is better for papsmear ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both are good: The liquid pap smear offers better cell morphology, and is easier for an assisted reading with today's technology, but it's harder for the pathologist to assess the background.
