Endocervicalcolposcopy: An Exploratory Method Complementary to Colposcopy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In recent years, the diagnostic capacity of colposcopy has been called into question. Recent studies have indicated that the sensitivity of this method for the detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN 3) is between 54% and 85% [1]. In additional, it has been reported that biopsies performed under colposcopy guidance detects only two-thirds of CIN 3 lesions [2], and several researchers have even suggested that biopsies should be conducted randomly to improve their capacity to detect lesions [3,4].

متن کامل5-Aminolevulinic-acid-based fluorescence spectroscopy and conventional colposcopy for in vivo detection of cervical pre-malignancy
BACKGROUND Sensitized fluorescence diagnostics are based on selective accumulation of photosensitizer in the tissue where carcinogenesis has started. The present study compared topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-based fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) in vivo with conventional colposcopy for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) detection. METHODS We enrolled 48 patients who were referred ...

Colposcopy is a medical diagnostic procedure to examine an illuminated, magnified view of the cervix by a colposcope. Most cases of cervical cancer can be prevented through screening programs aimed at detecting precancerous lesions. Colposcopy cervical images are acquired in raw form which contains major cervix lesions, regions outside the cervix and parts of the imaging devices such as speculu...
