Pathology Centre
Tissue and Cell Examinations
At the Pathology Centre of West Tallinn Central Hospital, we examine tissue and cell samples to help establish a precise diagnosis. We perform histological, cytological and immunohistochemical examinations, as well as rapid examinations during surgery. We analyse both tissue samples taken during biopsies and tissues and organs removed during operations.
The Pathology Laboratory is a EAK poolt akrediteeritud meditsiinilaborregistration number M009.
