Re: Pap smears: frustrating for everyoneFrom: Douglas Krell (sfth@roadrunner.com)Sun Sep 29 23:03:09 1996
On the topic of PAP frustration, I wonder how many listmembers have seen the PAPNET presentation for physicians? The PAPNET computer is able to target 128 of the most suspicious cells on the slide and enlarge the image for more careful scrutiny. Thus it may help to decrease the ASCUS rate in situations where the pathologist might otherwise feel compelled to use the ASCUS diagnosis based on a poor specimen alone. Although the test is not FDA approved as a follow up for ASCUS (Atypical Squamous Cells of Uncertain Source), there is some data which suggests that a PAPNET reading may be helpful in this group as well, although the benefits remain to be well elucidated. Anyone using or offering PAPNET regularly?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
