Color Atlas of Flow Cytometry ( + Converted PDF)
By PhD David M. Dorfman, MD, PhD William J. Karlon, MD, PhD Michael A. Linden, MD
The Color Atlas of Flow Cytometry presents more than 70 cases from the CAP flow cytometry proficiency testing program, complete with over 270 images, photomicrographs, dot plots, survey data, and thorough discussions. Overviews of the hematopoietic disorders are also included with each section. Through peer-reviewed cases, practicing pathologists, medical technologists, residents, and students have an opportunity to identify and appreciate disease categories and specific disease entities that are particularly difficult to diagnose correctly in clinical practice. Contents include: B lymphoblastic leukemia and immature B cells, T lymphoblastic leukemia and immature T cells, Ambiguous lineage/mixed phenotype acute leukemias, Myeloid neoplasms, Mature B-cell neoplasms, Mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms, Immunodeficiencies
The Color Atlas of Flow Cytometry is a comprehensive guide that presents over 70 cases from the CAP flow cytometry proficiency testing program. It is authored by PhD David M. Dorfman, MD, PhD William J. Karlon, MD, PhD Michael A. Linden, MD, who are experts in the field of pathology and hematology. The atlas is designed to provide practicing pathologists, medical technologists, residents, and students with a valuable resource for improving their understanding and interpretation of flow cytometry results.
Flow cytometry is a powerful tool used in the diagnosis and monitoring of hematologic malignancies and immunodeficiencies. It allows for the analysis of individual cells in a mixed population based on their physical and chemical properties. This atlas aims to enhance the reader’s ability to correctly diagnose challenging cases by presenting real-life examples and discussing the underlying disease entities.
The atlas begins with an introduction to flow cytometry and an overview of the hematopoietic disorders. It then delves into the different types of leukemias, including B lymphoblastic leukemia, T lymphoblastic leukemia, and ambiguous lineage/mixed phenotype acute leukemias. Each case is thoroughly presented with images, photomicrographs, dot plots, and survey data, allowing the reader to visually and quantitatively assess the characteristics of the cells.
In addition to leukemias, the atlas covers myeloid neoplasms, mature B-cell neoplasms, and mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms. These sections provide a comprehensive understanding of the different types of hematologic disorders that can be diagnosed using flow cytometry.
The Color Atlas of Flow Cytometry is a valuable resource for pathologists and medical technologists who want to improve their diagnostic skills in the field of hematopathology. The cases presented in the atlas are peer-reviewed and represent challenging scenarios that are often encountered in clinical practice. By studying these cases, readers can gain a deeper understanding of disease categories and specific disease entities that are difficult to diagnose correctly.
Apart from the visual presentation of the cases, the atlas also includes thorough discussions to further enhance the reader’s understanding of the diseases. The authors provide insights into the diagnostic criteria, differential diagnoses, and clinical implications of the flow cytometry findings. This comprehensive approach ensures that the reader not only gains a visual understanding of the cases but also develops the necessary knowledge to interpret flow cytometry results accurately.
The Color Atlas of Flow Cytometry is published by the College of American Pathologists, a trusted organization in the field of pathology. The book is available in eBook format, making it easily accessible for readers to study on their preferred devices. With 342 pages, it covers a wide range of cases and disease entities, providing a comprehensive resource for those interested in the field.
