Dr. Stewart is an anatomic and clinical pathologist with research interests in cytopathology, telepathology, and improved diagnostic utility of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology, a diagnostic technique used to sample cellular material from superficial and deep masses. These efforts involve finding better ways of delivering advanced patient care using deep FNAs to obtain biopsy material.They also involve telepathology in which cytotechnologists, residents, and fellows working with clinicians at one site can prepare specimens and transmit images for cytopathologists at another site to analyze in real time and render a preliminary diagnosis.This is also known as telecytopathology.
