IntroductionCytology Testing
HTS Labs offers a robust cervical cytology testing service for women over 18, combining traditional cytology with advanced molecular testing to support comprehensive cervical screening.
Our Combination Pap/HPV Co-Test integrates molecular HPV analysis with ThinPrep® cervical cytology, helping improve the detection of cervical abnormalities compared with traditional screening approaches alone.
Selected cervical cytology samples are processed through our referral laboratory partner, using the Hologic Genius™ Digital Diagnostics system — an advanced digital cytology platform combining deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) with volumetric imaging technology to support the identification of pre-cancerous lesions and cervical cancer cells.
This innovative digital workflow supports enhanced screening efficiency, remote expert collaboration, improved standardisation, and high-quality patient care.

Hologic Genius™ Digital Diagnostics
The Hologic Genius™ Digital Diagnostics system represents the next generation of cervical cancer screening technology.
The platform combines:
- Advanced volumetric digital imaging
- Deep learning artificial intelligence (AI)
- High-resolution digital slide review
- Remote expert collaboration capabilities
- Secure digital case management
The system rapidly scans ThinPrep® cytology slides and uses AI-assisted image analysis to help identify the most clinically relevant cells for expert review.
Instead of manually reviewing tens of thousands of individual cells across a slide, the Genius™ system creates an AI-generated gallery of potentially abnormal cells to support more targeted and efficient assessment.
Clinical evaluations have demonstrated:
- Improved sensitivity for high-grade abnormalities
- Approximately 50% reduction in screening time
- High concordance between screening methods
- Enhanced workflow efficiency and collaboration
As digital pathology continues to evolve, technologies such as the Hologic Genius™ system are helping shape the future of cervical screening and laboratory medicine.
