A cytological specimen analyzer includes an image capture apparatus, a mapper and a screening station. The mapper receives digital images of regions of a slide containing a cytological specimen and determines if each of the regions contains cytological material. The mapper analyzes the image of each region, pixel by pixel, and if the region contains cytological material then the coordinates of the region are stored along with a focal position for the region and a value indicative of the amount of cytological material in the region. Upon analysis of each region on the slide, the mapper determines the most efficient path to be traveled between regions containing cytological material to minimize the viewing time of an operator at the screening station. Upon request by the screening station, the sequence of the aforesaid coordinates, which is indicative of the most efficient path, are transmitted to the screening station.

Analyseur d'échantillon cytologique constitué d'un appareil de saisie d'images, d'un imageur et d'une station de visualisation. L'imageur reçoit des images numériques correspondant à diverses régions d'une préparation microscopique contenant un échantillon cytologique, et il détermine si chacune de ces régions contient du matériel cytologique. L'imageur analyse, pixel par pixel, l'image de chaque région et si elle contient du matériel cytologique ses coordonnées sont enregistrées en même temps que sa position focale et qu'une valeur indiquant la quantité de matériel cytologique présent. En analysant chacune des régions de la préparation microscopique, l'imageur détermine par la même occasion le trajet le plus rapide pour parcourir l'ensemble des régions contenant du matériel cytologique pour un opérateur installé à la station de visionnement. Cette séquence de coordonnées est transmise à la station de visonnement sur demande.
