The use of frozen sections is common in human medicine (Kaufman et al. 1986; Lessells and Simpson 1976). Frozen sections generate an accurate diagnosis in greater than 97% of human biopsy samples (Lessells and Simpson 1976; Kaufman et al. 1986). The process requires highly trained personnel and equipment specific to the procedure, and thus, veterinary facilities that have the capability are limited (Ehrhart 1998). In one veterinary study, the accuracy of frozen sections in determining a specific diagnosis was 83% (Whitehair et al. 1993). In that same study, frozen sections were able to make a determination between neoplastic and nonneoplastic diseases in 93% of cases (Whitehair et al. 1993).
