PATHOLOGY IN ACTION:

THE PATHOLOGY LAB

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in an anatomical pathology lab? Learn about the types of tissue stains, the technical aspects of pathology tissue processing, and also catch a rare glimpse of how actual resection specimens are examined and evaluated in the pathology lab.  Some of this content is created by pathology laboratory technologists (allied health staff), who form a crucial and integral part of the pathology clinical service. They are our unsung heroes, and form an essential pillar in tissue diagnosis and hence clinical care.
