Role of various artifacts in histopathology : a narrative review
artifacts in histopathology
Abstract
The noteworthiness of appropriate handling of tissue samples is valuable for histopathological diagnosis. Preciseness of tissue sample diagnosis by pathologists is profoundly reliant on the proficiency of histotechnologists. Artifacts are known as fault or glitches that happens at several stages like collection of sample, during processing, embedding, and mounting of the tissue sample. Thus, it is crucial to determine the frequently occurring artifacts. In this review, literature or information on artifacts is discussed. English language articles were scrutinize in plentiful directory or databases like Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, Google Scholar.
