Digitalización de muestras de laboratorio en el área de citología en Latinoamérica: Un mapeo sistemático

Abstract

Pathology is the study of diseases in the human body, the causes of tissue injuries are without a doubt the most important reason for a pathologist. If an organ or tissue is compromised in any way, a biopsy is performed to provide the quickest diagnosis. For this reason, the use of digital imaging in telepathology improves the quality of the diagnosis, exchanges knowledge with other experts remotely, and thus improves patient care. This work performs an analysis of the literature that includes topics about the fingering of the images of laboratory samples in the area of cytology in Latin America. The methodology used in this work is based on Systematic Mapping that consists of identifying a research gap and whose process proposed by Petersen consists of three stages: Protocol Definitions, Search Executions and finally Discussion of Results. As a result of this analysis, 69 relevant articles related to the digitalization of images of laboratory samples in the cytology area were obtained according to the inclusion criteria that were proposed for this systematic review.
