title: The TICAS-RTCIP real time cell identification processor.
abstract: A preliminary model of a real time processing system, the TICAS-RTCIP (for Taxonomic Intra-Cellular Analytic System--Real Time Cell Identification Processor) has been disigned and is being tested under operational conditions, proving the substantial advantages of employing a network of microprocessors operating in parallel. The system is designed only to demonstrate the feasibility, while more extensive development and biologic testing will be required to assess general applicability to automated uterine cytology.
