Synovial Fluid Cytology is a diagnostic test that involves analyzing the synovial fluid, which lubricates joints, for the presence of cells and other substances.
This test is performed by obtaining a sample of synovial fluid through a procedure called arthrocentesis, or joint aspiration. The fluid is then examined microscopically to identify the types and numbers of cells present, as well as to detect any signs of inflammation, infection, or malignancy.
