Histopathology

Overview

Histopathology is the microscopic examination of tissue samples collected during a biopsy or surgery. The tissue is carefully processed, stained and examined by a qualified pathologist to identify abnormal changes in cells and tissues.

Histopathology plays a vital role in confirming diagnoses, determining disease severity and guiding further medical or surgical treatment.

At Apple Scans & Diagnostics, Ongole, we provide quality histopathology services with accurate reporting to support better patient care.

Frequently Asked Questions
