Moderator: Jemimah Mwende-Remian Diagnostics
This is a concise educational webinar that examines how errors during tissue handling and slide preparation such as issues in fixation, processing, sectioning, or staining can produce artifacts that mimic or obscure real disease features. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing these distortions, understanding their origins, and distinguishing them from true pathological findings, equipping pathologists, laboratory professionals, and students with the skills needed to avoid misdiagnosis and improve the accuracy of histological interpretation.
