Combined Digital Colposcopy Analysis to Improve Cervical Precancer and Cancer Detection

"The MDC has 2 components: an optical probe \& a multispectral colposcope. The optical wand makes use of fluorescence \& reflectance spectroscopy; a light is shone on the cervix and the wand reports what it sees to a computer. Since cancer \& healthy cells interact differently with light, a computer can detect abnormalities. The multispectral colposcope is based on a conventional colposcope, which is already widely used. However, it is also able to produce fluorescence \& polarized reflectance images of the entire cervix. Computer analysis of these images can detect abnormalities on the cervix, defining their location and shape.~This trial involves combined analysis of MDC data. This may lead to more effective diagnosis of cervical abnormalities. The MDC will be used with standard care for patients presenting with cervical abnormalities (as detected by a Pap test). The MDC will not be used to guide patient management decisions.~All study subjects will receive this same intervention."
