Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Cytology focuses on the diagnostic utility of various cytological techniques, including fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), crush/imprint cytology, and liquid-based cytology (LBC). It covers the cytomorphological evaluation of lesions from different organ systems, such as the respiratory system, breast, cervix, thyroid, and pancreas, often correlating cytological findings with histopathological diagnoses. The journal also explores the application of ancillary techniques like immunocytochemistry and molecular testing in cytopathology, as well as the use of deep learning models for image analysis in cytology.
