Cytology Service

Interscope Pathology has long been a leader in Pap Smear technology. We were among the first in Southern California to offer the Hologic (formerly Cytyc) liquid based ThinPrep® Pap Test (TPPT) which when combined with their Imaging System has become the standard for Pap smear primary screening.

When your patient's specimen is sent here, it is first screened by the Imaging System. All slides are then screened by California Licensed Cytotechnologists who are board certified by the American Society for Clinical Pathology. If any abnormalities are noted, the smear is then reviewed by a Board Certified Pathologist.
