Histopathológiai

Histopathológiai is a branch of pathology that deals with the microscopic examination of biological tissues. It is a critical tool in the diagnosis and understanding of diseases. Histopathology involves the preparation of tissue samples, known as biopsies or surgical specimens, for examination under a microscope. These samples are typically fixed in a preservative solution, then processed through a series of steps to embed them in a solid medium, allowing for thin slicing. These thin slices are then mounted onto glass slides and stained with various dyes to highlight different cellular components and structures. Pathologists then analyze these stained slides to identify abnormalities such as inflammation, infection, or the presence of cancerous cells. The findings from histopathological examination are crucial for determining the nature of a disease, its severity, and guiding treatment decisions. It plays a vital role in many medical specialties, including oncology, dermatology, and gastroenterology.
