Non-Invasive, Real-Time Technology for Diagnosis of Cervical Tissue
Non-Invasive, Real-Time Technology for Diagnosis of Cervical Tissue
In general, to determine the sensitivity of light transport to tissue from morphological
 features of clinical significance.

 Determine how specific structural features contribute to light scattering. Investigate light
 scattering differences in tumorigenic and nontumorigenic cells.

 Develop and implement quantitative and sensitive methods for measuring morphological
 properties.

 Clinical measurements.
Patients undergoing a colposcopy will also have spectroscopy measurements taken and an extra
 biopsy of suspicious tissue.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients with abnormal Pap smears who are referred for colposcopy.

 Exclusion criteria include:

 -  Anyone of the male sex since this study focuses on cervical cell abnormalities

 -  Any woman who has had a hysterectomy, LEEP, or chemotherapy.
