No mitosis on the cytogenetic test

Hi all,

Just wondering anyone have the below test result when going for cytogenetic test ? As you can see from my mom cytogenetic report below, there is no mitosis and only very few cells are found. Is there any other ways to test the Chromosomes abnormality besides the cytogenetic test.

Another question is without the cytogenetic report, how the hematologist be sure that the patient has MDS or not and in which type ?

Cytogenetic report
Clinical Diagnosis : Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Comment : Very few cells and No Mitosis were obtained from this specimen
