CorePlus Puerto Rico Publishes Groundbreaking Study on Implementing 100% Quality Control in Cervical Cytology Using Whole Slide Imaging and Artificial Intelligence
Revolutionizing Cytology with AI and Digital Pathology
As digital pathology continues to advance into the field of cytopathology, laboratories are exploring alternatives to traditional manual microscopy screening. CorePlus evaluated the performance of the Techcyte SureView™ system—specifically designed for digital cytopathology—on 1,442 digitized slides from ThinPrep® and SurePath™ cervical cytology samples.
The slides were scanned using the 3DHISTECH P1000 DX scanner under both dry and water immersion scanning profiles. A board-certified cytopathologist reviewed AI-identified objects of interest and compared them to results obtained through traditional light microscopy.
Outstanding Results and Operational Efficiency
The study demonstrated that the SureView™ system using the water immersion profile significantly outperformed both dry scanning and manual microscopy in detecting squamous and glandular abnormalities. Key performance metrics included:
97% accuracy
82% sensitivity
99% specificity
98% negative predictive value
86% positive predictive value
In addition to its high diagnostic performance, the AI-assisted system considerably reduced review times and improved overall workflow efficiency.
A New Standard for Quality Control in Cervical Cytology
Following successful validation, CorePlus has fully integrated the Techcyte SureView™ system as a 100% QC tool in its laboratory operations. This marks a major step forward in adopting digital and AI technologies to enhance diagnostic accuracy, laboratory efficiency, and patient care.
'We have been able to achieve an unprecedented level of consistency and confidence in cervical cytology screening, every PAP Counts!' Mariano de Socarraz, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at CorePlus. 'Our team is proud to contribute to the advancement of digital pathology and demonstrate its real-world clinical impact.'

NAMI Statement on Executive Order Targeting Homelessness and Criminalizing Mental Illness
ARLINGTON, Va., July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Yesterday, the White House released a new Executive Order, 'Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets,' which directs federal agencies to make it easier to involuntarily treat people with serious mental illnesses as part of a bid to address homelessness across the United States. While addressing the nationwide homelessness crisis is urgent and necessary, yesterday's executive order promoting institutionalization of people with mental illness raises grave concerns for NAMI and our community. NAMI's Chief Executive Officer Daniel H. Gillison, Jr. said: 'Mental illness is not a crime, and people with mental illness deserve to be treated as human beings, with dignity and respect. While we agree that homelessness is an urgent crisis in our country, to truly address the systemic causes of this crisis, we should be pouring resources into treatment to improve early access to care and investing in supportive housing and other wrap-around services. It's always ideal – and best – for an individual to engage in their own treatment. Yet, too many NAMI families know that isn't always possible. Unfortunately, yesterday's order concerningly focuses broadly on institutionalization and not on real solutions that we know work in helping people lead better lives.' NAMI believes that in the rare instances where voluntary engagement in treatment is not possible, involuntary commitment should be used only as a last resort and only when it is believed to be in the best interests of the individual. While it is unclear how the executive order will be carried out since state law governs the process of involuntary civil commitment, the order also urges moving away from a 'housing first' approach, which has been successful in helping individuals stay connected to treatment and reduce homelessness. While NAMI is troubled by the overall order, it does include a direction to federal agencies to support crisis response services and prioritize funding for mental health and drug courts – strategies that NAMI supports. This executive order comes at a time when significant cuts are being made to mental health services nationwide. Earlier this month, Congress passed legislation that will drastically cut Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, impacting millions of Americans. The Administration has rescinded more than $1 billion in grants from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), with more cuts proposed for the next fiscal year. These changes will result in far too many people being unable to get the treatment they need. When that happens, more people will be arrested, incarcerated, land in emergency rooms, lose their connection to family and community, and ultimately become homeless. NAMI's Chief Advocacy Officer Hannah Wesolowski said: 'Rather than providing access to critical mental health services, this executive order appears to prioritize coercive tactics to move people who are homeless out of the public eye. This does nothing to address the root causes of homelessness, runs a high risk of exacerbating the homelessness crisis, and is not the way to address our mental health needs. People with mental illness deserve better.' For more information on the public policies that NAMI supports, visit
