Diagnostic Electron Microscopy (EM)

在多种肿瘤和非肿瘤疾病的诊断中，透射式电子显微镜(EM)被用作一种辅助程序，在精心选择的诊断难题中，它是非常有用的。EM诊断服务的主要目标是：(1)为NCI和NIH支持的临床诊断和治疗方案提供高质量的EM诊断服务；(2)帮助阐明这些方案中研究的疾病过程的发病机制；(3)向住院医生和研究员教授EM在人类疾病诊断中的应用；以及(4)为NIH科学界提供电子显微镜专业知识。这项服务由CAP定期检查和认证。过去一年的成绩摘要如下： (1)共发布115份诊断EM报告。 (2)对每个标本多个标本的研究标本进行加工和评价，共发表6篇论文。

Transmission electron microscopy (EM) is used as an adjunct procedure in the diagnosis of a wide range of neoplastic and non neoplastic diseases and can be extremely useful in well chosen diagnostic dilemmas. The main objectives of the diagnostic EM service are: (1) to provide high quality EM diagnostic services to NCI- and NIH-supported clinical diagnostic and treatment protocols (2) to help elucidate the pathogenesis of disease processes studied in these protocols (3) to teach pathology residents and fellows the application of EM in the diagnosis of human diseases and (4) to provide electron microscopic expertise to the NIH scientific community. The service is regularly inspected and certified by CAP. The last year's accomplishments are summarized below: (1) A total of 115 diagnostic EM reports were issued. (2) Research specimens with multiple samples per specimen were processed and evaluated, resulting in 6 publications.
