Thermal Imaging for Evaluation of the Cervix
Thermal Imaging for Evaluation of the Cervix
When screening results for cervical premalignant lesions are positive, colposcopy is
 recommended. This is highly sensitive screening method. However, specificity of the test is
 of low.

 Thus, a technology that improves the accuracy of the colposcopic exam is needed.

 This is a feasibility study with the goal of examining the performance of a thermal imaging
 camera in the detection of cervical malignant and premalignant lesions.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Age > 18

 -  Women with premalignant cervical lesions who are candidates for conization (group A)

 -  Women with a normal cervix who are candidates for hysterectomy (group B)

 -  Women with newly diagnosed cervical cancer

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  For group A and B - women that had conization in the past
