U.S. Air Force Maj. (Dr.) Luisa Watts, 88th Diagnostics and Therapeutic Squadron pathologist, examines a skin excision with basal cell carcinoma for intraoperative consultation (i.e. frozen section) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Medical Center, June 26, 2017. Ultimately, the tissue will be placed onto a glass slide for microscopic examination whereby Dr. Watts will make an intraoperative diagnosis that will determine what type of surgery the patient receives. This consultation is done while the patient is anesthetized in the OR. Pathologists have 20 minutes within which to render an intraoperative diagnosis.
