Agreement among Laboratory Cytotechnologists/Pathologists
The following tables indicate the extent to which the laboratory cytotechnologists / pathologists at
a given site agreed amongst themselves on the diagnosis, comparing the ThinPrep 5000
processor to the ThinPrep 2000 system. Tables are provided for ASC-US+ and ASC-H+.
In Table 24 for ASC-H+, the number of specimens is shown for which various levels of agreement
among the CTs occurred. Either all three CTs rated the slide as positive (ASC-H+), two out of three
rated it positive, one out of three, or none of them.
