Diagnostic Imaging Aid for Management of Cervical Lesions
Diagnostic Imaging Aid for Management of Cervical Lesions
A handheld digital colposcope which utilizes flurorescent light is being tested for the rapid
 detection and management of cervical lesions. The handheld research device captures cervical
 images which with the fluorescent light show the regions of cervical tissue that
 autofluoresce. The investigators will study the relationship between the level of
 fluorescence and the samples of tissue (biopsies) obtained from the patient as part of her
 routine care. The investigators will also compare the efficacy of the hand held device with
 the data being collected from the other research devices being tested by the team, i.e. the
 multispectral digital colposcopes.
