In reiterating our commitment to providing your patients with the best available technology to detect disease as early as possible, Florence Pathology Services was the first lab in Alabama, north of Birmingham, to offer the Cytyc ThinPrep ® Imaging System.
This state-of-the-art, computer assisted screening system further enhances the quality interpretations yielded from the ThinPrep Pap Test, a cervical cancer screening method that has become the gold standard for patient care. We are confident this approach will provide you with optimal patient outcomes and further minimize exposure to risk. It is important to note that patient samples screened using the ThinPrep Imaging System are covered by reimbursement. We are equipped to perform a wide range of gynecologic and non-gynecologic services in addition to the ThinPrep Pap Test including:
- Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) specimens utilizing the ThinPrep technology
- Brushings, Washings, and Body Fluids utilizing the ThinPrep technology
Florence Pathology Services offers specialized testing through our professional association with several specialized reference laboratories including Mayo Clinic and Cytometry Specialist, Inc. These specialized services include flow cytometric analysis, cytogenetics, DNA probe-based testing for infectious disease analysis, PCR, Fluorescent in-situ Hybridization (FISH) and other molecular tests.
