Development and Application of a Diagnostic Imaging Aid for One-visit Management of Cervical Lesions in Low-resource Settings
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.
