Testing

Selecting a test

Click the "Tests" button in the menu on the left to see the list of available tests.

For each test, the table shows the name, start and end dates, duration in minutes, status and result.

If no end date is specified for the test, then there is no deadline for passing the test, otherwise you need to complete the test before the specified date.

If the duration of the test is not specified, then the end date acts as the deadline for its completion, otherwise the test must be completed within the specified time. When you start a test with a set duration, a countdown timer activates. When the timer expires, the test closes without saving the results.

If a test has not been started, it has the "Start" status. If a test has been started but has not been finished, its status changes to "Continue". When a test is completed, its status changes to "Finished".

Depending on the selected community, different sets of specified tests are available. If you select the "Hematology" community, the set will include tests based on CBC and bone marrow samples. The tests for the “Cytology” community are based on Pap, Pap ICC, BF and STDs samples.

To start a test, click on the "Start" link in the "Status" column of the selected test.

You will see a table with samples that require validation. The test shown in the image above contains two samples (Sample 1 and Sample 2). To validate samples in order, click the "Start" button under the table. To validate a specific sample, click "Validate" in the corresponding line.

Sample validation

To switch between the sample tabs, use the "Save and continue" button or the tab switching panel, in both cases the changes will be saved.

If the sample contains a digital slide, the “Open DS” button will be displayed, and the “Summary” tab will include the image of the digital slide and the “Open the digital slide” link. Click on any of these items to view the digital slide.

The digital slide will open in a new browser tab. Navigate around the slide by holding the left mouse button and moving the mouse. Use the mouse wheel to change the zoom.

CBC sample validation

To pass the test, you need to determine the type of white blood cells and other cells (WBC) and set the parameter values of red blood cells (RBC).

"WBC" tab

This tab allows you to view and change cell types.

The "WBC" tab consists of two sections:

• Table of cell types;
• Gallery of cell images.

Initially all cells are displayed as unknown. You can select the type of cells to view in the drop-down list at the top of the gallery (1). In the upper right corner there is a tool for changing the zoom of cell images (2). Use the scroll bar (3) to view all the cells.

Left-click on a cell and press the "Space bar" on the keyboard to see a quick preview. To close the quick preview, press the "Space bar" again or click on the cross in the upper right corner of the pop-up window.

Ways to work with the gallery:

Moving cells from the gallery to the table of types

To move one cell, hold down the left mouse button on the desired image and drag the cell to the table row with the name of the desired type (the background of the row will turn blue), then release the left mouse button. The number of cells of the selected type in the table will change.

To move multiple cells, left-click on each cell image, they will be highlighted with blue frames. To select all the cells in a group, click on its name. When the desired cells are selected, hold down the left mouse button on one of them and drag the cell to the table row with the name of the desired type (the background of the row will turn blue), then release the left mouse button.

Select "All" in the drop-down list. All cell groups will be simultaneously displayed in the gallery. The number of cells of each type is indicated in brackets.

Select one or more cells. To select all the cells in a group, click on its name. Place the cursor on one of the selected cells. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the image of the cell up or down the gallery to move all the selected cells to another group. The placement field with a dotted border will indicate the place the selected cells will move to. If there are other cells in the group, then drag the cell/group of cells onto them until a placement field is displayed. Then release the left mouse button.

Selecting a cell type via the context menu

In addition to moving the image of the cell, you can select its type in the context menu. Right-click on the selected cell to summon its context menu, then select the desired type in it with the left mouse button.

To evaluate the morphology of red blood cells by their size in the image, use the "Ruler" and "Small lymphocyte" tools.

Set the required parameter values in the table using the radio buttons in the corresponding columns. Then click "Save and continue" to save the results and switch to the "Summary" tab.

"Summary" tab
